Sorry, I was just trying to avoid spurious postings asking for the
reference in relation to the comment. Here is the exact comment:

"The set M exists but is of course empty. Hence your selection of f
isn't possible."

You see why I asked you for a link? This quote is USELESS. It does not
have any context whatsoever.

Certainly, it is patently false that this quote says that the product
X x Y is empty on some circumstances.

Now, provide a link to the original message and stop trying to
paraphrase, stop trying to extract, and stop trying to
editorialize. You are lousy at all three.
