Point

Hi.

He has a point up to the point. [From the BBC radio.]

Does the prepositional phrase up to the point limit the object a point in the sentence? And if so, how to describe this sort of limitation? Is it that the point (he has) cannot be taken without some reservations?

Thank you.

That's my interpretation. The speaker is obviously very clever, but potentially confusing as well.
