Theorem 2eu5 2382
 Description: An alternate definition of double existential uniqueness (see 2eu4 2380). A mistake sometimes made in the literature is to use E!xE! to mean "exactly one and exactly one ." (For example, see Proposition 7.53 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 53.) It turns out that this is actually a weaker assertion, as can be seen by expanding out the formal definitions. This theorem shows that the erroneous definition can be repaired by conjoining as an additional condition. The correct definition apparently has never been published. (E* means "exists at most one.")
