Arriving is such conclusion needed to much study and to much analysis. I think that needed much more that that you think to tell that silver must be on par with gold. If you have read something which discuss about this and this writting is serious please give the needed arguments written there in order that here can be real discussion about this sentence.

As for me silver on par with gold is a stupidity (as i know this matter) but I am not a good cognitive in this field. So my words are more intuitive than based in facts.
