Re: Discussion of the VC proof

I have also another question on the same page (190):
At the end of the page there is the formula:

$\sum_S&space;\mathbb{P}[S]\times\mathbb{P}[sup_{h\in&space;H}\vert&space;E_{in}(h)&space;-&space;{E_{in}}'(h))&space;\vert&space;>&space;\frac{\varepsilon&space;}{2}]&space;\leq&space;sup_S&space;\mathbb{P}[sup_{h\in&space;H}\vert&space;E_{in}(h)&space;-&space;{E_{in}}'(h))&space;\vert&space;>&space;\frac{\varepsilon&space;}{2}]&space;\vert&space;S&space;]$

I don't understand why the RHS is greater or equal to the LHS. The only legitimation I see for this is, that the distribution of P[S] is uniform, but this has not been stated in the text.
Or do I oversee here anything and this is also valid for all kinds of distribution?
