Abstract
In a recent Letter, Schnittman and Rasio argue that they have ruled out chaos in compact binary systems since they find no positive Lyapunov exponents. In stark constrast, we find that the chaos discovered in the original paper under discussion, J.Levin, PRL, 84 3515 (2000), is confirmed by the presence of positive Lyapunov exponents.
