probability measure P on the measurable space ({heads, tails}, {{}, {heads}, {tails}, {heads, tails}}), P({heads}) = P({tails}) = 1/2 and P({}) = P({heads, tails}) = 0

I think you mean P({heads, tails}) = 1.

Wow, that's a pretty bad error to miss. Fixed.

The more I think about it, the sadder it is that it took LW a day and a half to catch that error.
