The author gives a direct proof of the result that, over a field of characteristic not 2, an anisotropic quadratic form of height 2 and degree \(n \geq 1\) which is good but not excellent has necessarily the dimension \(2^{n+1}.\) This answers a question asked by M. Knebusch in 1977. As the author points out, a conditional proof of the result (based on some conjectures on the Galois cohomology groups) was given earlier by \textit{J. Hurrelbrink} and \textit{U. Rehmann} [Math. Nachr. 176, 111-127 (1995; Zbl 0876.11017)].
