This is the key theorem to build the product of an arbitrary family of probability measures: the piContent of a decreasing sequence of cylinders with empty intersection converges to 0. This implies the σ-additivity of piContent (see addContent_iUnion_eq_sum_of_tendsto_zero), which allows to extend it to the σ-algebra by Carathéodory's theorem.
