Jul 21 at 15:27 comment added Gabe Goldberg I don't know, it's been 10 years since I read Zeman's book. Steel makes a similar move when he defines $K^c$ in The Core Model Iterability Problem; look at the conditions for adding an extender to the $K^c$ sequence (Case 1 on page 6). Again, this is to ensure that there is a thick set of ordinals that are not measurable; look at property (iv) on page 9. In the end, $K^c$ is constructed in order to extract $K$, so I guess the certification it is a matter of convention as long as it does not affect $K$.
Jul 21 at 2:47 comment added Connor W @GabeGoldberg Thanks for your reply, Gabe. As a follow-up question, is there a reason this is not done in Zeman's book? Is it a matter of convention whether or not $K^c$ only has measurables of cofinality $\omega_1$?
Jul 20 at 22:14 comment added Gabe Goldberg Mitchell wants the class of fixed points of an iteration of $K^c$ to be thick; see Proposition 4.8.
