Said to acknowledge someone else's explanation of something and thank them for it, with the added undertone of acknowledging that yeah now that you think about it, really that should have been obvious all along and you were being stupid for even asking the question in the first place.
An early (and possibly the first) appearance of the phrase, with this undertone, occurs in a joke in the 1992 episode "Holoship" of British sci-fi comedy TV series Red Dwarf, with the following exchange:
The Cat : Why don't we drop the defensive shields?
Kryten : A superlative suggestion, sir. With just two minor flaws. One, we don't have any defensive shields. And two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I realise that technically speaking that's only one flaw but I thought that it was such a big one that it was worth mentioning twice.
The Cat : Good point, well made.

Alice: Are you coming round to my house tonight?
Bob: No, I'm away on holiday. I told you yesterday.
Alice: Good point well made.

Get the Matthew Wellsmug. A phrase used by idiots trying to sound sophisticated. People who use this phrase usually like to suck on penis.

Get the Well You See Heremug. The woman mounts the guy cowgirl style. As she rides she reaches back and squeezes his balls, AKA coin purse as she spits into his open mouth.
I was feeling a little weird and asked my girl to give me The Wishing Well and I haven’t been able to walk right all day.
