IMHO, introducing the point _H_ explicitly makes the explanation arguably a bit more clear

An Elliptic Curve for the purpose of cryptography is simply a large set of points that
we will call _C_. These points can be added, subtracted, or multiplied by integers (also called scalars).
Given an integer _k_ and
Given such a point _H_, an integer _k_ and
using the scalar multiplication operation we can compute `k*H`, which is also a point on

`k*H + j*H`. The addition and scalar multiplication operations on an elliptic curve
