If as an element of , the stated lower bound is zero and is immediate. Otherwise set . The supplied formal group expansion has , because . For , the non-Archimedean estimates giveIf , then , so the two terms cannot cancel and . The same strict inequality persists under iteration, so no such can have finite -power order. Every nonzero -power torsion point therefore satisfies .
