Miller %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X We prove that for every Borel equivalence relation $E$, either $E$ is Borel reducible to $\mathbb{E}\_0$, or the family of Borel equivalence relations incompatible with $E$ has cofinal essential complexity. It follows that if $F$ is a Borel equivalence relation and $\cal F$ is a family of Borel equivalence relations of non-cofinal essential complexity which together satisfy the dichotomy that for every Borel equivalence relation $E$, either $E\in {\cal F}$ or $F$ is Borel reducible to $E$, then $\cal F$ consists solely of smooth equivalence relations, thus the dichotomy is equivalent to a known theorem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.8684v1
