Proof by Contradiction:

Suppose there are two limits, L1 and L2.

Graphically, we have seen that the N value for L1 is not necessarily the same as the N value for L2.

This idea leads to a contradiction:

We chose the maximum:

The two epsilon-strip should not be overlapping.

So we use the idea of the distance between L1 and L2.:
