Abstract: Let $mathbbB$ be a complete Boolean algebra. We show, as an application of a previous result of the author, that if $lambda$ is an infinite cardinal and $mathbbB$ is weakly $(lambd{a}^{o}mega,omega)$-distributive, then $mathbbB$ is $(lambda,2)$-distributive. Using a parallel result, we show that if $kappa$ is a weakly compact cardinal such that $mathbbB$ is weakly $(2^{k}appa,kappa)$-distributive and $mathbbB$ is $(alpha,2)$-distributive for each $alpha<kappa$, then $mathbbB$ is $(kappa,2)$-distributive.
