WHY THE FULL INTERVAL IS THE ONLY JUSTIFIED BAND — 83 solved keys measured, no pattern found
KEY POSITION vs UNIFORM
MEAN / MEDIAN0.504 / 0.500
SD uniform 0.2890.271
CHI-SQUARE, 9 df6.76 · crit 16.92
KS D0.075 · crit 0.149

Keys #1–#135 land where a uniform draw would put them.

PUBKEY PREFIX 02 / 03
KEYS39 / 44
MEAN POSITION0.481 / 0.524
WELCH t−0.73 · 5% = 1.99

Even or odd y says nothing about where the key sits.

z 2.01 is one hit in ~18 tests, not a trend — and its band still spans most of the range.

A band hands back the sqrt saving while throwing away 1−f of the keys.

Verdict: walk the whole interval [2^139, 2^140−1] — 3.1·√2^139 ≈ 2.6e21 steps. Random 2^54 drops cost 4.95e13x more, and a band fitted to this sample is a random band with a story attached.
