Finite subsets of a well-quasi-ordering, compared by Hoare domination preorder, form a well-quasi-ordering. Enumerate each finite subset as a word and apply Higman lemma: a subsequence embedding with increased letters supplies a domination witness for every source element. This does not assert the same result for the full power set.
