Jan 12, 2017 at 18:39 comment added Libli @Bear : how do you define the projective dual of a double line?
Jan 12, 2017 at 12:02 comment added Bear Probably I'm missing something, but aren't you saying that that there is an example in char 2 of a conic whose projective dual is a double line? So the projective dual is well defined but the conic won't be the dual of its dual. I don't see a problem with that.

Jan 12, 2017 at 0:13 comment added Libli @NoamD.Elkies : you are right, $\mathcal{C}^*$ is $a^{\perp}$ with multiplicity $2$. Hence the dual of $\mathcal{C}^*$ is not even well-defined.
