Pursuing this investigation a little further, I added mag limits to the program.
I found that mag 6-10 gave prefect chance results whereas mag 5-6 gave extremely negative results.

This makes perfect sense. The database was California quakes and the only tidal correlation ever found was for small shallow angle thrust faults at LOW tide whereas Full and New moons are HIGH tide..
