The silent adnittance made by the eyes is not an English phrase...finally, I'm not sure everyone would get the subtlety of hard blinks a "yes" . | |

If you read the comments below the video you will see other people have also picked up this same meaning. This is the point, it is so subtle that only two people who really listen to each or know each other very well would understand this. | |
