Not including the + sign implies scalar multiplication of two points, does it not?

And scalar multiplication of two points is not possible. Unless I'm incorrect; please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have proven to myself that it is indeed point addition between the two points; testing it on my own personal implementation of the algorithm.
 * If you mean the edit you did at Schnorr signature, then I am sorry for the {{subst:uw-error3}} tag. But anyway, the numbers are scalars, so the + should not be there. Nononsense101 (talk) 15:32, 5 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for correcting me. But I am still confused as to why a + should not be there.
 * Not having a + between g^s and g^e (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnorr_signature#:~:text=Verifying%5Bedit%5D-,Let,-%7B%5Cdisplaystyle%20r_%7Bv) implies that the two points are multiplied together, does it not?
 * And this is not possible; two points can only be added together in this context.
