I think this kind of thoughtful agreement is valued very highly. But situations where someone has additional evidence they can present to corroborate a poster's point simply have a much lower base rate than situations where someone comes up with a potential criticism. That's because for the first, you have to come up with a potential criticism and produce the evidence to refute it.
