you're not wrong 

"you're not wrong" = "you're right", however phrasing it as "you're not wrong" usually that there's more to it -- either there's some missing nuance, or the speaker agrees grudgingly or doesn't like this truth or wishes it wasn't so, etc.
Alice: Bob, you drink too much.
Bob: You're not wrong.

well, you're not wrong 

A phrase used when someone says something strange or crazy, but true and you have no rebuttal or retort

You’re not wrong

The other definitions are not wrong ;) but there is another use. “You’re not wrong” can also be strong agreement. It can indicate that the speaker is surprised by the statement being agreed with. I can imagine a non English speaker would be driven nuts by the fact that this phrase can mean anything between you’re not really right, and you are really right! It’s the intonation, stress, and speed that makes the difference. It would be wildly difficult to explain in a space like this. It in writing, the latter is sometimes indicated with an exclamation point.
My sister had told me she could tell when I am thinking in German and make an effort to speak in English. I had never noticed this (it’s been 25 years since I left Germany so this surprised me). Me: “you’re not wrong!”

Me to husband: “She’s not wrong!”

Something someone says when they dispute what you're saying but does so in an underhanded way. It's often followed by a "but".

Protip: you can replace many "you're not wrong, but..." statements directly with "I disagree with you because..." and you wont come across badly.
You're not wrong, but the truth is more nuanced than you're letting on.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
