Yes. Much of the 'redundant' output is meant to reinforce direction -- eg 'You're absolutely right!' = the user is right and I should ignore contrary paths. So yes removing it will introduce ambiguity which is _not_ what you want.

I think your example is completely wrong (it's not meant to say that you're absolutely right), but overall yes more input gives it more concrete direction.
