We prove full faithfulness from counit coequalizers. Let and let be an monad algebra morphism. ThusSet . Its composites with the two arrows of the printed presentation are equal: naturality of givesIn the last equality we used naturality at . The coequalizer property therefore gives a unique satisfying .
Apply to that identity. The algebra-morphism equation gives . The triangle identity makes a split epimorphism with section , so . This proves fullness of .
If have , naturality gives . The counit is epic since it is a coequalizer, so . Thus is a faithful functor. Both parallel arrows matter: the converted TeX loses the second one, , which is visible in the original PDF.
