Topic: 2-limits vs terminal cone

view this post on Zulip Ambroise (Mar 25 2024 at 06:45):

Hello! In the first section of "Limits indexed by category-valued 2-functors", Street argues that given a weight and a diagram in a 2-category, a 2-terminal object in the 2-category of cones is a 2-limit. But doesn't "2-Limits and 2-Terminal Objects are too Different" provides a counter-example (see Counter-example 2.10)?
