I agree with what you said. There is a chapter devoted to point shooting in "Kill or Be Kilt", and having read it again, I don't think he is using a flash sight picture. Point shooting, as espoused by the Colonel is NOT for hostage rescue. It was developed to teach large numbers of people how to defend themselves with a handgun at very close range in the shortest amount of time possible. Mostly agents having an encounter with Nazis in a train station or such. It is therefore, a defense technique IMO and not related to hostage rescue, which requires high speed precision shooting and is offensive (especially to the hostage takers). Two different techniques for two different problems.
The other reason I would call point shooting defensive is the continuous talk of reaction and convulsive movements. This to me implies a defensive move after the fact.
Having said all this, I think point shooting is still a valid technique if used for its intended purpose.
Good discussion.
