Nov 5, 2015 at 12:01 comment added Joel David Hamkins I suppose one can view that as a reduction, but I'm inclined to say that the symmetric model argument can be reduced to a direct forcing argument.
Nov 5, 2015 at 11:54 comment added Asaf Karagila Well, sure. Your argument, however, can be reduced to passing through $L(\Bbb R)$, which can be clearer and easier to see why these things work nicely (after forcing over $L(\Bbb R)$ to have say, $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$, you didn't add any new reals, so every real is in $L$ or Cohen over $L$, so this is again a Cohen extension).

Nov 5, 2015 at 11:44 comment added Joel David Hamkins But haven't I also given a proof here that it happens? I find my argument to be more direct, since it doesn't use symmetric models. There is no need to consider $L(\mathbb{R})$ explicitly, although of course the models will have the same $L(\mathbb{R})$ since they have the same reals.
