Abstrak

I point out and diagnose an error in a figure in a textbook on classical physics. The error helps to illustrate a pitfall encountered when dealing with the shapes of objects, and perhaps also reflects general cultural attitudes in physics. Another, less interesting, error is noted in passing.
