Validating doesn't mean you agree but that you understand the other persons POV. "I understand that you think/feel ___________." You are acknowledging their feelings and thoughts, shows you are listening and that you are considering them.
I guess that is a good point when you put it like that.

Yes, it makes good sense.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
