One of my college professors, Dr. Cherie Clodfelter, always insisted we answer in the affirmative by definitively saying, "Yes".
'Yeah', 'uh huh' and any other version just wasn't going to cut it - it sounds bad, makes you sound uneducated, and a host of other reasons were given - the best one being that there is no misinterpreting 'Yes' for something else (which can happen with yeahs and uh huhs).
Peter must know this somehow, as he always responds with a "Yes" - no yeahs, or uh huhs allowed. He would have fit into her class wonderfully!
