 It is easy to check that this is a chain map.

 It follows from Proposition \ref{thm:small-blobs} that $\bc_*^C(Y\times F)$ is homotopic to a subcomplex of $G_*$.

 Both the identity map and $\phi\circ\psi$ are compatible with this
 collection of acyclic subcomplexes, so by the usual MoAM argument these two maps
 are homotopic.
