Lorenz is often confused in the minds of uninformed idiots of being
the originator of the idea of mathematical "chaos."

It was Poincare who discovered the mathematical properties of what
we now call "chaos" or the sensitivity to initial conditions.  In fact,
if it had not been for the original work of Poincare then Lorenz would
not have had a ready-made theoretical framework to easily exploit.
