I thought everyone is a cryptography expert around here, or worked for more than 25 years on EC, if my methods confuses you is because you don't try working only with scalars to penetrate N the group order. If I explain everything step by step, where would be the fun in that? Have you shared anything you could discover by operating over scalars?
Whatever method, equation you can use to get definitive results over scalars, applies to points as well. I have explained how to get meaningful results based on that before. To Alek on a few previous pages, regarding how to get target /1024 for sure.
