Really? Here's what I see for a plot containing 3 points (once all the
headers etc. are stripped):

10 setlinewidth L0 0.000 K 9667 6702 M Z 8178 5643 M Z 6688 4584 M Z

and the definitions of M are {moveto} and Z is {gsave currentpoint
lineto 20
setlinewidth 1 setlinecap stroke grestore}. My ps is rusty, but it
looks like it's just drawing a line from the current point to the
current point, with rounded edges at each end of the line - so a real
dot.
