  We discuss recently published results of two-dimensional measurements of the
cosmic ray anisotropy in the energy range 1-100 TeV. It is demonstrated that,
in spite of pretence of the authors to measure the anisotropy in more detail
than it was done in one-dimensional measurements of the first harmonic of CR
intensity in sidereal time, new measurements give nothing essentially new.
Moreover, two-dimensional picture is misleading creating an illusion that the
true direction of the anisotropy is observed, while, as before, only the
projection of the anisotropy onto the equatorial plane is measured and the
phase of the anisotropy remains to be the only directly measured parameter. The
sophisticated interpretations of the results of 2D measurements made by their
authors are invalid, since they are based on the false assumption that the
equatorial excess and deficit of CR intensity seen on the difference maps
represent the real anisotropy.
