contents The difficulty of determining the slope of the famed logarithmic law in the mean velocity profile in wall-bounded turbulent flows, the inverse of the Karman 'constant' $κ$, from direct numerical simulations (DNS) is discussed for channel flow. Unusual approaches, as well as the analysis of the standard log-indicator function are considered and analyzed, leading to the conclusion that a definitive determination of the channel flow $κ$ from DNS with an uncertainty of, say, 2-3% will require the residue of the mean stream-wise momentum equation in the simulations to be reduced by at least an order of magnitude.
