You think you saved 195 hours, but in reality you saved far less hours (I'm not saying you didn't save any hours).
Silences serve to aid your brain from getting tired, allowing you to catch up and process the information, or to get in diffused mode of thinking.
If silences were completely useless they wouldn't ever be used. You'd download an audiobook from the official vendor, and it wouldn't contain any silences.
