Testing a proposed "planarity" tool for studying satellite systems: On the alleged consistency of Milky Way satellite galaxy planes with $\Lambda$CDM
A proposed planarity metric for satellite galaxy systems is shown to be orientation-dependent and reactive to non-planar anisotropies, invalidating the claimed consistency of the Milky Way satellite plane with LCDM.
