Delivery of first phoneme and delivery of the important information don't have to be coupled. Politicians on TV get very good at this particular trick, they've got a set of stock phrases which basically fill time while their brain gets in gear. We just need something to fill the gap so our System 1 doesn't lose confidence in the interaction.
So you could just locally generate the "You're absolutely right! ..." prefix without even waiting for the response to stream in!
