They will say to themselves, I will point by and then assume he didn't want it as I floor the throttle.
but you just described the problem I pointed out in my video:

if you are doing a point-by, you have to help facilitate the passing. If you are doing a point-by, you are pointing by a faster car or someone who is obviously catching up to you in other sections of the track.

To do a point-by and still drive 10/10ths is not a proper point-by technique. All the other stuff about setting fast lap times is moot, I have no problem pointing by someone even when I'm on a flying lap and letting them pass.
