For future reference, a filet mignon is a piece of meat cut from the tenderloin of the cow. Which is a really long cylindrical shaped piece of meat that tapers off at each end. So a filet mignon is either a cylinder shape as well or a cone shape if it's the end piece of the tenderloin.

Its not filet mignon but your reasoning is wrong. You can cut filet in any shape you want.

I mean, I guess you can mutilate the tenderloin and cut off a lot of pieces to be whatever shape you want. I've never seen it happen before though, and I work at a catering company. We've done filets quite a few times.
