The proof of theorem is wrong


Let’s create a very simple measurable spaceMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath: X={a,b}, 𝒜={,{a},{b},X}.

Let’s take the π-system P={{a}} containing only one subset of X.

Let’s create two measuresMathworldPlanetmath μ=δa+δb and ν=δa+2δb. Then obviously μ and ν agree on P and are finite, but they obviously are not equal on 𝒜.

The proof, however, claims that it is sufficient if μ and ν are finite. I believe that μ(X)=ν(X) is a necessary condition.
