well, of course it is, sorta.. whenever you have to deal with a sentence w/in a sentence and it starts with "But", it makes any examination of it a bit more difficult -- just reading it... messes with your head, because there's a but in it... how else would you word it... it's in response, saying that you agree with someone, what you're agreeing on, and why...

How's your mum?
Have you eaten any spotted dick lately?

Sometimes, curiousity is a bad thing.
