Should rather be "results nonced" ;-) They're not the same... Extract from my modest (and still "work in progress") Org-Babel refcard [1]: - :results silent :: Sends the commands, echoes the results in the minibuffer (to see code block output), but *does not change the Org mode buffer* (even during export, *no results are inserted* into the exported document). (default for Org and Screen code blocks) - :results none :: Silents the results, even for the minibuffer. By definition, such a code block is run for its side effects.
