For a Banach space B let P denote the canonical projection of the third dual space of B onto the embedding of the first dual into the third. It is shown that if B = l1 then ‖I-P‖ = 2.

This fact shows to be mistaken a current belief in a statement which is equivalent to the statement that for all Banach spaces B the operator I – P is of norm one.
