the same $x$-coordinate. (This follows from the fact that the curve equation
determines $\pm y$ as a function of $x$.)
But $-P_1 = \scalarmult{-1}{\scalarmult{k_1}{Q}} = \scalarmult{-k_1}{Q}$.
Since $\fun{k \typecolon \bigrange{-\halfs}{\halfs}}{\scalarmult{k}{Q} \typecolon \GroupJ}$
Since $\fun{k \typecolon \bigrange{-\halfs}{\halfs}}{\scalarmult{k}{Q} \typecolon \MontCurve}$
is injective and $k_\barerange{1}{2}$ are in $\bigrange{-\halfs}{\halfs}$,
then $k_2 = \pm k_1$ (contradiction).
\end{proof}
