Abstract: Colding and Minicozzi have shown that an embedded minimal disk $0inSigmasubset{B}_R$ in $Rea{l}^3$ with large curvature at 0 looks like a helicoid on the scale of $R$. Near 0, this can be sharpened: on the scale of $|A{|}^{-1}(0)$, $Sigma$ is close, in a Lipschitz sense, to a piece of a helicoid. We use surfaces constructed by Colding and Minicozzi to see this description cannot hold on the scale $R$.
