We discuss some important issues arising from computational efforts in dynamical systems and fluid dynamics. Various individuals have misunderstood these issues since the onset of these problem areas; indeed, they have been routinely misinterpreted, and even viewed as "laws" by some. This paper hopes to stimulate appropriate corrections and to realign thinking, with the overall goal being sound future progress in dynamical systems and fluid dynamics.
