For instance, we note that no metric space of generalized roundness zero is isometric to any metric subspace of any $L_{p}$-space for which $0 < p \\leq 2$. Lennard, Tonge and Weston gave an indirect proof that $\\ell_{\\infty}^{(3)}$ has generalized roundness zero by appealing to highly non-trivial isometric embedding theorems of Bretagnolle Dacunha-Castelle and Krivine, and Misiewicz. In this paper we give a direct proof that $\\ell_{\\infty}^{(3)}$ has generalized roundness zero.
