It is well known that if a nontrivial ideal ℑ on κ is normal, its quotient Boolean algebra P(κ)/ℑ is κ+-complete. It is also known that such completeness of the quotient does not characterize normality, since P(κ)/ℑ turns out to be κ+-complete whenever ℑ is prenormal, i.e. whenever there exists a minimal ℑ-measurable function in κκ. Recently, it has been established by Zrotowski (see [Z1], [CWZ] and [Z2]) that for non-Mahlo κ, not only is the above condition sufficient but also necessary for P(κ)/ℑ to be κ+-complete. In the present note we are going to visualize that Zrotowski’s result is a consequence of the Boolean structure of P(κ) exclusively, rather than of its other particular properties.
