Should readonly prevent me from reassigning points values?

In the video he changes his point variable value from 4, 2 to 8, 5, but since the attributes in the Point class are readonly, shouldn't he only be able to assign the values once?

Actually with "new Point(8, 5)" you are creating a new Point object and assigning it to the same "point" variable which is mutable.
