Assume the zero set is measurable, as is ensured by measurability of . This is an implicit necessary hypothesis: for an arbitrary real function the printed integral and event need not be measurable. Put . Conditional on , the uniform order statistics description makes the probability of no jump in equal to . Averaging over the Poisson distribution gives
Consequently
In particular a measure-zero zero set is almost surely missed, despite possibly containing infinitely many points.
