(from LA done right)Prove that polynomials that always evaluate to $0$ at 2 is not linearly independent.

Here is a solution. However from the solution I cannot see if the proof is complete. It seems that the proof only show that the list $z$, $p0$,$p1$,$...$,$pm$ are linearly dependent. But how can we see that the list is the linear dependent? In other words. It seems that the assumption that the list is linearly independent is not used to get the contradiction.
