NOT asking for the solution to this exercise, which is publicly accessible. Rather, pls see the green and red underlines. If I apply the author's green definition to the red underline, then $\tilde P({\color{red}{L \mid M_2}}) \equiv P(\color{red}{L \mid M_2} \quad \color{limegreen}{\mid M_1})$. 

1. Is it natural or wonted to write $\ge 2$ Conditional Probability [pipes](https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/110194) INSIDE a Probability?

2. Is it customary or respectable to write Pipes on their own, without probability?
