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.

You missed my point. When you have drivers looking to set laptimes instead of caring about watching their mirrors and executing proper point byes in a DE situation, then this is what can occur. He obviously knew you weren't going to pass him without lifting, and that way he got to finish his lap and set his laptime. I am not saying everyone does this, but I am saying that having the timing devices is part of the issue.
