Since , applying Itô formula to after givesBefore , both sides vanish. Since is a stopping time determined by , this is a strong solution of a stochastic differential equation.
Taking gives , whereas any gives a solution that remains zero until ; these differ with positive probability while using the same Brownian motion and initial value. Therefore pathwise uniqueness fails.
