[lojban-beginners] What is the real use of "jo'a?"

[Jed <three65daysaweek@yahoo.com>]

"na'i" and "jo'a" are officially defined as "metalinguistic no" and
"metalinguistic yes," respectively. I can understand "na'i" being used
in philosophical discussions, or when one simply doesn't feel like
answering the question they have been asked. However, does this mean
that "jo'a" has even less actual meaning, and means nothing concrete
beyond "yes, I heard you, maybe I'll answer, maybe I won't"?
