Remark 59.30.2. Let S = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) be an affine scheme. Let (p, u) be a point of the site (\textit{Aff}/S)_{fppf}, see Sites, Sections 7.32 and 7.33. Let B = \mathcal{O}_ p be the stalk of the structure sheaf at the point p. Recall that
where x_ C \in u(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(C)). It can happen that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B) is an object of (\textit{Aff}/S)_{fppf} and that there is an element x_ B \in u(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B)) mapping to the compatible system x_ C. In this case the system of neighbourhoods has an initial object and it follows that \mathcal{F}_ p = \mathcal{F}(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B)) for any sheaf \mathcal{F} on (\textit{Aff}/S)_{fppf}. It is straightforward to see that if \mathcal{F} \mapsto \mathcal{F}(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B)) defines a point of \mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits ((\textit{Aff}/S)_{fppf}), then B has to be a local A-algebra such that for every faithfully flat, finitely presented ring map B \to B' there is a section B' \to B. Conversely, for any such A-algebra B the functor \mathcal{F} \mapsto \mathcal{F}(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B)) is the stalk functor of a point. Details omitted. It is not clear what a general point of the site (\textit{Aff}/S)_{fppf} looks like.
