From Myerson's Theorem \cite{myerson}, a single parameter auction is truthful if and only if the allocation function is monotone and agents are paid theshold payments. Consider two experiments with dimension $d=2$, such that $x_1 = e_1=[1 ,0]$, $x_2=e_2=[0,1]$ and $c_1=c_2=B/2+\epsilon$. Then, one of the two experiments, say, $x_1$, must be in the set selected by the mechanism, otherwise the ratio is unbounded, |
