Most CTs I know actually are interested in point-by-point discussion.
The aim of conspiracy rhetoric is to bog down the discussion. That can be done in a few ways. You can argue over some single bolt or bullet. Or you can talk endlessly about how the discussion should proceed. The whole point is to generate meaningless words than can fill books and videos, not to arrive any better understanding of the truth.
If the question at any given moment were, "Which is a better theory: Theory A or Theory B?" it would be answered in short order and no one would get noticed or make any money. But if you change the question to, "Here's all the things wrong with Theory A," you can gossip and niggle on that until the cows come home.
