You don't want to correct a judge or justice, but you always want to steer them to your point. It's an acknowledgment with a finely tuned caveat at the end of it. =) The “Yes, but” technique is something they teach you in law school when arguing before the appellate.

It's so easy to downplay or minimize stuff with the "yes but..." approach and you can convey the same information, often, by adding data and being helpful, not giving people the "why not" approach.

He said that it was to practice techniques for improv, such as that you never say "no" to anything someone else suggests. Otherwise, it stops everything!
