Abstract: In this paper we prove that a simplicial map of finite-dimensional locally finite simplicial complexes has contractible point inverses if and only if it is an $epsilon$-controlled homotopy equivalence for all $epsilon>0$ if and only if $fimesmathrm{id}_{m}athbbR$ is a bounded homotopy equivalence measured in the open cone over the target. This confirms for such a space $X$ the slogan that arbitrarily fine control over $X$ corresponds to bounded control over the open cone $O(X_{+})$. For the proof a one parameter family of cellulations ${X_{e}psilo{n}^{p}rime}_{0<epsilon<epsilon(X)}$ is constructed which provides a retracting map for $X$ which can be used to compensate for sufficiently small control.
