Implication Details

Claim: If a symmetric monoidal category is cartesian and is codistributive, then it is trivial.

Proof: In a codistributive symmetric monoidal category, for every object XX, the functor XX \otimes - preserves the terminal object 11. But since the symmetric monoidal structure is assumed to be cartesian, 11 is the monoidal unit, so 1=X1=X1 = X \otimes 1 = X.
