Does spending Silk when building a Factory move my R&D marker up the track?

The publisher answered this directly on BGG, and the rulebook agrees.

No. Silk never moves the marker along the track. It temporarily raises the R&D level you are checked against: when building a Factory, 1, 3 or 6 Silk give +1, +2 or +3 levels. A Silk boost is a level bonus for that turn, not a space advance.
