Abstract
We first show that a generic hypersurface of degree in the projective complex space of dimension has at least one hyperplane section containing exactly ordinary double points, alias singularities, in general position, and no other singularities. Equivalently, the dual hypersurface has at least one normal crossing singularity of multiplicity . Using this result, we show that the dual of any smooth hypersurface with has at least a very singular point , in particular a point of multiplicity .
