Cone into cube. Geometry nodes

Explain to me why the correct transformation into a cube does not occur with a cone?
If I change the cone to a ico sphere, everything works.

Icosphere and cube have portions above and below the z=0 place. The cone is just above z=0.

So, how do you think that would affect Sample Nearest Point?

The answer lies there.

(as a side exercise - explain why transforming the cone half-way down will still not work)

In this case, for point C, the nearest point will be selected randomly?

No need to ask me… you can answer this yourself with a simple experimental setup:

Good luck.
