You have a critical eye for analysis? Cool, I've got a green thumb. Still doesn't change the fact that your complaint about Hough was that she didn't throw a bunch of other random variables (some of which are strongly correlated, causing pseudoreplication!) into an analysis that doesn't need them.

I really don't care that you spotted an obvious problem with a different paper. You think the author of the paper we're discussing should have introduced an obvious problem into the analysis, you missed the obvious problem in the paper you cited against it, and you see nothing wrong with this.

You're the one casting aspersions. Go back to the first comment I made, which is that tidal forces do trigger earthquakes. But so do other external forces and the effect is stochastic, which is why I added that one can't use tidal cycles as earthquake predictors.
