Well, it rarely happens that li(f) and ri(f) are both inhabited and if
so then both contain morally just one element (in case of Set).
The point seeeems to be that the type li(f) x ri(f) is connected. If
you intersect it with the diagonal then it is not connected anymore.
That subobjects of connected objects need not be connected anymore is
geometrically quite intuitive.
For example (\Sigma y:A) Path_A(x,y) is always connected though its
subobject Path_A(x,x) is not.
