What can happen when you object after asked does anyone object?
Without knowing the specifics it is impossible to say. This question, though, can very often make people ill at ease. Say that you are in a class situation, and some aspect of the class was understood when people were registering. If the prof wants to make a change, even one that might seem benign to most, he runs the risk of really inconveniencing offending or angering one or more in the class. It seems unreasonable that a individual who came in with a stated expectation should have to later "defend" the expectation, and run the risk of appearing uncooperative to the rest of the group. The prof, or anyone else in this situation, should at the very least give everyone the opportunity to make a completely private objection, and be willing to drop the proposal even if one person objects (perhaps depending on the nature of the proposal.)
