Theorem axc16b

Description: This theorem shows that Axiom ax-c16 is redundant in the presence of Theorem dtruALT2 , which states simply that at least two things exist. This justifies the remark at mmzfcnd.html#twoness (which links to this theorem). (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006)
