annote = "At the initial stages of studying the theory of Boolean algebras, before trying to prove or disprove any simple sentence, students are usually asked to test their intuition using Venn diagrams or truth tables. A natural question arises: is it necessary to invent a proof after a positive check of this kind? Isn't such a check itself a rigorous proof of the verified sentence? And if this is not true in the general case, for which sentences is this true? We answer the question and prove an analog of the Jech Theorem for arbitrary (not necessarily complete) Boolean algebras.",
