Integrating the stopped stochastic differential equation for and then taking a common full-probability event for a localizing sequence gives, simultaneously for every ,
The integral is finite on each compact time interval before : the continuous positive path has a positive minimum there. Its integrand is nonnegative, so
This is a pathwise comparison using the same Brownian motion, not a comparison of independent distributions. Continuity lets the identities established initially at rational stopped times hold on the entire stochastic interval.
