My understanding is that using the straight line defensive technique to encounter a punch is to follow the trajectory to deliver a powerful strike targeting at the opponent and intercepts his or her punch by the way. If he or she faked the punch, drawback, too weak, etc., will get the encounter strike. Does that make any sense?

I can't speak for how anyone else does it. I was taught to move offline, and the strike is structured so that the block and the strike are typically the same movement, so there's a dodge, block, and counter strike combined. Depending on circumstances, the other hand may be offbalancing or otherwise inhibiting the opponent, as well. Fighting, as with anything that's high risk, should incorporate as many redundancies as possible, IMO.
