Yup.  My mistake.  Thanks for pointing it out.

What I was thinking is that when you have to put one of the special
symbols between the conditions (like -o for "or"), then you have to
use the \( and \).  Since there is no special symbol for "and", just
putting the conditions next to each other, you don't have to use the
parentheses.
