The correspondence principle is a cornerstone in the entire construction of quantum mechanics. This principle has been recently challenged by the observation of an early-time exponential increase of the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) in classically non chaotic systems. Here we show that the correspondence principle is restored after a proper treatment of the singular points. Furthermore our results show that the OTOC maintains its role as a diagnostic of chaotic dynamics.
