      We show that no Montesinos knot (link) can be 2-universal. This theorem contrasts with the existence of 2-universal knots as shown in \textit{W. M. Wilden, M. T. Lozano, J. M. Montesinos-Amilibia}, ibid. 239--253 (2004; Zbl 1096.57002)]. These two combined results are somewhat surprising, for most known universal knots (links) are Montesinos.
