Abstract
A recent mathematical analysis by Michel Petijean aimed at solving the Barron/Mislow controversy concerning the chirality or otherwise of a non-translating spinning cone concluded that both are right: the controversy is a matter of an arbitrary choice of a conversion factor. This reassessment highlights the different physicochemical properties of a stationary spinning cone and a chiral molecule and concludes that Petitjean's analysis is misleading.
