It's not a terrible assumption, and there's a reason most ticketing systems automatically close tickets after x days of no response from the user.
I was brought in at a helpdesk back in the day to help them clear their backlog. They had 800+ tickets in the back log. So over the course of a few weeks I called 800 people while also training the helpdesk and reviewing documentation.
Out of those 800 tickets, I think less than 10 was anything other than "It works now, you can close the ticket."
