The expression "point in time" is a redundancy. Saying "at the same time" is sufficient.
At the same time means - concurrently.
At this point in time means - 6th march, 2008 whatever time it is now.

Two different meanings.
At the same time means - concurrently.
At this point in time means - 6th march, 2008 whatever time it is now.

2. Can two threads exist at the same time?
The meaning is the same, much like "millionaire" and "rich millionaire."
I'm puzzled why you can't present your argument without resorting to an ethnic slur.

"At the same time" does not necessarily mean "now" ["at this point in time" does]

Originally posted by Dr Strangeloveyes, you're right, at the same time could refer to the past, present or future whereas at this point in time always means now

Your original question referred to the SAME point in time, not THIS point in time.
I agree, "this point in time" is now, but "the same point in time" can be past, present or future. The operative word is SAME. The "same point in time" is identical to "the same time."
You can't be serious.
