Rule 1728 states that a rule allowing something without objection "thereby" allows it by announcement if such-and-such. The meaning I intended when I originally wrote that "thereby" is like "is tantamount to" - i.e. the second part is the defined expansion for "without objection", not an additional effect to be piled on.
