    Assume V is an at least 3-dimensional vector space, Q is a quadratic form on V, there are nontrivial singular vectors in V but not in the radical of V. Then every 0-isomorphism is a metric automorphism with respect to Q. The author gives a new, short, and transparent proof for this theorem. Examples show the necessity of the assumptions.
