= Odd cross-intersection bound
{title2=$|\mathcal A||\mathcal B|\leq2^{n+1}$}

Appending a coordinate one to each <indicator vector> changes every odd cross-intersection dot product into an even one in $\mathbb F_2^{n+1}$. The argument for the <even cross-intersection bound> then gives the displayed bound. It is a valid bound without a claim that it is sharp.
