malintencionadamente

Creo que el término se usa más bien en sentido crítico, y no para denotar "puntería".
Pointedly:
adverb
in a very obvious way, usually to express criticism or disapproval:
Something went wrong...

enfáticamente

Una de las acepciones del OED: "Pointed: emphasized, made evident. - Pointedly, adv."

Esto es lo que se expresa aquí; dar énfasis, realzar la importancia del tema.
