Although a numerically computed Chaotic trajectory diverges exponentially from the true trajectory with the same initial coordinates, there exists an errorless trajectory with a slightly different initial condition that stays near (``shadows'') the numerically computed one. Therefore, the Fractal structure of chaotic trajectories seen in computer maps is real.
