I don't think it can be ruled out entirely. Statistically, I think you are going to find that there is some influence on earth movement, but very little. Let's say, just slightly more than chance.

It would be interersting also to run a comparison during eclipses. I think you might find a few higher numbers then, but again, just a piece of the puzzle, but not the whole tamale.

How's that for a mixed metaphor? (Unless, of course, you are assembling a jig saw puzzle of a tamale.)
