EQF wording says "is going to occur". My post said that precise measurements in a mine MIGHT be able to detect a slight change for a M8.8 that has already occurred. From that it does NOT follow that it makes any kind of sense that Shan can detect precursors to quakes from a presumably far less sensitive method. Again, since EQF has demonstrated in posts here over the decades that he does not have much/any skepticism or critical thinking (seems to believe anything just so long as it is alternate/outside of what professional scientists are doing): there is a huge difference between detecting a quake that has already happened and detecting precursors. I suppose EQF is just accepting that Pavel is indeed detecting precursors at a distance and predicting earthquakes, but from what we have seen here, that would be just taking Pavel on faith. And, yes, if we were really interested we would buy his book but there have been enough science "Red Flags" in Pavel's posts that it seems unlikely that most of us would buy or read his book.
