+ Next, we prove that the collection $\{ E_f : f \in \Mor(\I) \}$ has the finite intersection property, i.e. that $\bigcap_{f \in F} E_f$ is non-empty for every finite set $F \subseteq \Mor(\I)$. For $f \in F$ we write $f : i_f \to j_f$. Then the diagram with objects $J := \{ i_f : f \in F \} \cup \{ j_f : f \in F\}$ and morphisms $\{ f : f \in F \}$ has a cone with vertex $k \in \I$ and morphisms $g_i : k \to i$ for each $i \in J$. Now choose $y \in X_k$, and define $x \in \prod_{i \in \I} X_i$ such that $x_i = X_{g_i}(y)$ if $i \in J$, with arbitrary choices of $x_i \in X_i$ for all other $i$. We then see that $x \in \bigcap_{f \in F} E_f$, which finishes the proof of the claim.<br>
