The power 'disable' from the expanded psionics handbook has an area that says 'Cone-shaped emanation centered on you'. I was confused, is this a correct representation?

A cone is a cone. No errata needed.

Centered on you is centered on you.

Tell me... Where exactly is the center of a cone, and how did you come up with that determination?

Standing in the middle of a teepee could best describe "the center of a cone."

Plus, logistics and common sense take precedent in this matter. Is it really that hard to figure out the semantics of a cone shaped spell?
