. . .to the extent possible . . . absolutely pointlike . . .
Um, I think I said it right with the noted qualifier. It's also my understanding that as the machinery has improved over the decades, the size of the electron remains 'zero' within the measurement error. We aren't even seeing a 'hint' our machinery is even getting close to delineating a size.
IIRC, 'pointlike' these days means <10^-43 meter. For beings in the size range of 10^-400 meters, an electron would be bigger than our universe appears to us.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
