If you respond to someone's point with a counterpoint, it's generally understood that you are responding to them, engaging in something we call a "conversation". In such a conversation, also known as a "debate", assertions are likely to be tested and/or questioned by the other party. It's generally understood to be frustrating when each assertion made is followed with a "I can't prove this", "it's my opinion", or "I'm not debating".
