With all due respect to those who compiled it, it is hard to see
how the accuracy can be maintained so evenly. But then it is
probably similar to my efforts, no more than a rule of thumb.


Nope. Not a rule of thumb. It's all in the formula just above that
chart...


You are an idiot.


Gosh. What a deep and profound statement. I hope you didn't
hurt your brain cell coming up with that remark.

Of course, one cannot hurt what one does not have. So I guess
that means you can't hurt yourself thinking.


If your original offer is still open would you care instewad to work
out the proximity of the recent spate of large magnitude earhtquakes
to the varios tropoical / extratropical storms also current at their
times.


You've lost already. Quakes happen all year 'round. All I'd
have to show is a graph of the average number of quakes each
day for a year and you'll see a relatively flat line. That
tropical storms have seasons, ie only happen during certain
times of the year, proves lack of causation. Quakes happen
equally with and without storms.

To put it another way, explain all the quakes that happen
when there are no tropical storms?


Then one of us can apologise to the other.


I'm waiting.
