In particular, we exhibit non-supercyclic vectors for the backward shift acting on c(0) that still satisfy such a criterion. Nevertheless, if B is a locally uniformly convex Banach space, the Angle Criterion yields an equivalent condition for a vector to be supercyclic. Furthermore, we prove that local uniform convexity cannot be weakened to strict convexity. %~
