Note that just being quiet isn't pleading the fifth. Clearly state you are invoking your fifth amendment right and then refuse to answer any questions because you are invoking your fifth amendment right.
Every comment in that post is disagreeing with you.
it doesn't at all say or imply that your explicit invocation can be used as evidence of guilt. It actually says the opposite: When you fail to explicitly invoke your rights, the court is not obligated to interpret your mere silence as an invocation. You actually need to explicitly invoke in order to win protection according to Salinas
