If you follow the usual rules of english you should find that 'that
point' refers to 'the very next full stop'.

When looking at a section of code that has a full stop in it there is
no indication that this full stop is the target of a NEXT SENTENCE that
is buried in the code at some point above this.

The only way to resolve how the logic works is to search the whole
program, or at least all the program above the code you are examining.

If an additional full-stop had been inserted in the code between 'that
point' and the NEXT SENTENCE above it then there is no mechanism to
resolve if this was an accidental change in logic or a deliberate one.
