The appearance of a rotating disk, as perceived by a corotating observer in accordance with two operational procedures is discussed, and the results compared. It is noted that naive generalizations of operational procedures which correctly represent the disk geometry when stationary lead to mutually contradictory pictures when the disk rotates.
