Even when questions do not betray any bias as to which side of an issue the asker is on, we often see answers that indicate agreement, do these people know what they are agreeing with?

For the points is true here but what about in the real world?

They just want the points, but they don't have an answer to your question...

Well for one thing, everybody gets two points for at least posting a response. So if they don't know how to answer the question or their feelings on a question. They may put "I agree". Or they do literally mean what they see.

Everyone wants to feel like they are part of a group, so to agree on something, they belong. Also, people have a hard time bucking the system and don't want to offend others, so they agree to be accepted.

In the real world, it's probably equivalent to "I see", meaning "I understand" or "That's true". The person responding in this manner understands the speaker's position or acknowledges that the speaker's statement(s) is/are true, but doesn't necessarily agree with them.

Thats because they are not listening to you and they say 'I agree' just to end the topic, they weren't even listening to.

I agree.
No... I mean... maybe they're just not paying attention?
