good point well made

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.

Talking Points

A point someone in an argument usually uses because it is considered a strong point.

The name of a JackBox Party Game, Found on Pack 7, where players must give a presentation (Power Point style), but the slides except the first (which is written by someone else based on a prompt and choosen by the presenter) are random or (for images) choosen by another player (the assistant).

The point is you pick a first slide, and then try to make shit up as you go along the way, hilarity ensues.
