The standard tenet that Brans-Dicke theory reduces to general relativity in the omega-tends-to-infinity limit has been shown to be false when the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor vanishes. The issue is clarified in a new approach and the asymptotic behaviour of the Brans-Dicke scalar is rigorously derived.

Could a so far ignored symmetry of the classical laws of gravity explain the cosmological puzzles?
Weyl symmetry of gravity is restored if masses transform as m → Ω^{-1}m under conformal changes, allowing any matter to couple invariantly and potentially accounting for dark energy and dark matter.
