Your argument is theoretically correct but in practical terms it makes no sense. At least not until someone clams they can predict the TIME of a quake.

The data does not justify the accuracy. It's like quoting the average of integer numbers to 10 decimal places.

In your example, the difference between 1% and 2% is not significant; they're both VERY unlikely.
