Monotonicity of g(q) = klBin p q − 2 (p − q)² on (0, p] and [p, 1) #
The derivative factor (1 − 2q)² / (q (1 − q)) is nonnegative on (0, 1),
so the sign of the derivative of g reduces to sign(q − p). This makes
g antitone on (0, p] and monotone on [p, 1). These are the two
intervals that the binary Pinsker proof reduces to via case split on
p ≤ q vs q ≤ p.
