If you are responding to an argument by not responding to that argument, a possible productive response to your non-response is to point out that it was a non-response. I point out cognitive dissonances because they are non-responses to arguments and I desire to stick to the argument. It's a more illuminating way of implying "you didn't address the point" than saying "you didn't address the point" because it provides some explanation that allows the person to examine how it was that he/she indeed didn't address the point.
