I have studied the proof of Monotone Class Theorem from John B. Walsh's Knowing the Odds. I feel that a part of the proof is an overkill. I'm attaching the proof below.
The author has defined $\mathcal{G'}$ to be the smallest monotone class containing $\mathcal{F_0},$ but then defined the class $\mathcal{C_1}$ to show that $\mathcal{F_0} \subset \mathcal{C_1}=\mathcal{G'}$ and hence $\mathcal{G'}$ contains $\mathcal{F_0}$. If $\mathcal{G'}$ is defined to contain $\mathcal{F_0},$ why do we need to prove that again$?$
Any clarification on whether it is really an overkill or I'm just missing something would be much appreciated. Thank you.
