 (** This proves that the combination of affinity [P ∗ Q ⊢ P] and the classical
 excluded-middle [P ∨ ¬P] axiom makes the separation conjunction trivial, i.e.,
-it gives [P -∗ P ∗ P].
+it gives [P -∗ P ∗ P] and [P ∧ Q -∗ P ∗ Q].
 
-A similar proof is presented in
+Our proof essentially follows the structure of the proof of Theorem 3 in
