Word for point-by-point response
I saw someone use this word before, but I cannot remember what it is. The word describes this scenario:
-
Person A makes some points:
This is 1st point. This is 2nd point. This is 3rd point.
-
Person B refutes those points, often interleaving the original points:
This is 1st point.
1st point is wrong because reasons.
This is 2nd point.
2nd point is wrong because reasons.
This is 3rd point.
3rd point is wrong because reasons.
I remember reading a word or phrase that decribed Person B’s line-by-line response.

To rebut an argument line by line, especially on the Internet.

Blow-by-blow perhaps? Originally referred to detailed accounts in prize-fight broadcasts.
EDIT
What you described is a rebuttal, or as ab2 pointed out a point-by-point rebuttal.
