How it's used
This idiom emphasizes a state where one's outward agreement matches their inner feelings. It is often used to describe a situation where someone has proven their ability or logic so effectively that others have no choice but to respect them. Unlike simple agreement, it carries a sense of genuine admiration or defeat in a debate.
