Ok, but remember I'm just discussing the language (semantics) and not your position.
I think the phrase "about time" sounds to most people to be dismissive - and ... well, consider
Someone says to you "Joe got a haircut" and you reply "about time." A lot of people would translate that to "he really looked like poo"
Now if you had said "good points" or something like that - it implies more that it's something worth looking at.
Does this make sense?
