She pointed at the ice cream that she wanted.
I found that sentence on Macmillan. I have heard that point at has a negative/accusing connotation, whereas point to is more neutral. But in this sentence, I don't think she pointed at the ice cream to accuse it of something. So what's the difference between point to and point at?
