Finite.exists_ne_map_eq_of_infinite

∀ {α : Sort u_4} {β : Sort u_5} [Infinite α] [Finite β] (f : α → β), ∃ x y, x ≠ y ∧ f x = f y

The pigeonhole principle for infinitely many pigeons in finitely many pigeonholes. If there are infinitely many pigeons in finitely many pigeonholes, then there are at least two pigeons in the same pigeonhole. See also: Fintype.exists_ne_map_eq_of_card_lt, Finite.exists_infinite_fiber.
