Abstract
At variance, but not in contrast, with the accepted view that the source of plate paradoxes is located in the way the boundary conditions are imposed, it is argued that paradoxes, not only in the case of plate-like bodies, may be caused by the way the null-lagrangian contribution to stored energy is evaluated.
