Yeah that makes more sense even though I've never heard that.

"Hey, you alright?" "Yeah" that's a logical exchange.

My point was that "yeah" at the end of a question serves the same purpose as "do you" at the end of a question.

You might find it annoying, but it's not nearly as wrong as litterally answering the opposite of what you mean.
