Somehow I have the impression, which may be wrong, that rebuttal is used with a connotation that the prior comment is INcorrect (although both counter-claim and counter-argument seem to "rebut" the initial claim/argument).
I wonder if there is another word that can convey a more neutral connotation - more like "I beg to differ, so am offering a different comment
