It should be noted that if a property of a dynamical system holds for the parameters from an open and dense set in the corresponding space, then it is frequently said that this property is a generic property.
However, it should be kept in mind that the generic property is not the one that holds almost always. […] Therefore, it should be remembered that generic properties are quite frequently encountered and stay stable during small perturbations of the properties of a system.
