contents In this short remark, we explain that two examples of invariance under duality for a localizing invariant $F$ hold purely formally when $F$ is $K$-theory, whereas the general statement for arbitrary localizing invariants does not reduce to a formal statement. We record a counterexample to the claim that the universal localizing invariant is invariant under the operation of taking opposite categories, originally due to Tabuada.
