has a point
Makes valid argument
To say that someone has a point is to concede that their argument or observation is valid, at least partially.
It acknowledges merit in what they've said, often during a disagreement: I still think we should wait, but you have a point about the deadline.
The phrase implies the speaker is reconsidering their position.
