The generation of jets in accretion disk systems is commonly thought to be connected to the presence of a large poloidal field which may be accreted from the environment. The ability of accretion disks to concentrate an external poloidal field is dependent on the ability of a disk to support field lines that bend sharply as they pass through the disk. There is a simple argument which suggests that vertical turbulent transport makes this impossible in a stationary disk. Here we point out a loophole which allows strong bending of weak field lines and their concentration at small disk radii.
