Gary is reasonable/sensible when he says it will be cold.

Do the above versions mean about the same same? Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

No. Having a point relates only to the statement's appropriateness in the context of the conversation; it often is, but needn't be, reasonable: Gary has a point when he says he will kick me if I don't hurry up.

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'

Thanks, Mister.

You have made your point and I think you had a point when you gave my your example.
