Hi Curtis, yes, that's it! That is what I tried to demonstrate in that "section 4" of the post.. Probably it was already mentioned in Gansten's course! I didn't took the course, neither searched for other sources.. But this is way simpler for me now, so the posts (and the general idea) will stay available, may anyone need that info in the future..
