Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con las propuestas de John y añado estas traducciones no literales de point porque creo que encajan bien en este contexto.

Así lo recoge la acepción 6 del Oxford:
(item, matter)
we discussed various points — tratamos diversos puntos / diversas cuestiones
to bring up / raise a point — plantear una cuestión
a point of law — una cuestión de derecho
https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/translate/english-spanish/...

Esta definición del MW recoge la misma idea:
b : the most important essential in a discussion or matter
