Recall that because $Y$ is a random variable,
$\mathbf{E}[X|Y] = f(Y)$ is too.
In other words, $f$ maps $Y$ to another random variable,
-which, due to the *Doob-Dynkin lemma*
-(see [$\sigma$-algebra](/know/concept/sigma-algebra/)),
-must mean that $\mathbf{E}[X|Y]$ is measurable with respect to $\sigma(Y)$.

$\mathbf{E}[X|Y]$ cannot contain more information about events
than the $Y$ it was calculated from.
