Abstract
The significant discussion about the possible chaotic behavior of the mixmaster cosmological model due to Cornish and Levin [J.N. Cornish and J.J. Levin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 998; Phys. Rev. D 55 (1997) 7489] is revisited. We improve their method by correcting nontrivial oversights that make their work inconclusive to precisely confirm their result: ``The mixmaster universe is indeed chaotic''.
