The numerical results of Kuo-Petravic, Petravic, and Roberts, in which magnetic field lines are found to close beyond the light cylinder, are reconciled with the canonical theoretical view that these field lines must be open. We argue that a small region of trapped plasma on closed field lines relatively near the star (but nevertheless outside of it) expands until the light cylinder is reached. The remaining field lines are forced open and do not close beyond the light cylinder.
