Monte Carlo particle transport is often introduced primarily as a method to solve linear integral equations such as the Boltzmann transport equation. This paper discusses some common misconceptions about Monte Carlo methods that are often associated with an equation-based focus. Many of the misconceptions apply directly to standard Monte Carlo codes such as MCNP and some are worth noting so that one does not unnecessarily restrict future methods.
► Adjoint variety and use from a Monte Carlo perspective.
► Misconceptions and preconceived notions about statistical weight.
► Reasons that an adjoint based weight window sometimes works well or does not.
► Pulse height/probability of initiation tallies and “the” transport equation.
► Highlights unnecessary preconceived notions about Monte Carlo transport.
