% Comments : Assume epso and epsoo are choice operators on $o and $o>$o,
% respectively. epso can also be viewed as a predicate on $o>$o,
% so we can apply epsoo to epso. The term (epsoo @ epso) is of
% type $o>$o. This function is such that if it is true for $false,
% then it is true for $true. Proof Sketch: If the conjecture were
% not true, then (epsoo @ epso) would be the negation function.
% However, negation is the only function $o>$o for which we are
% certain epso returns $false.
