Not predicting
A cute video of dogs waking up a few seconds before a quake hits.
The article says the dogs are predicting the quake. Nonsense. Even my dull old tinnitus-ridden ears can detect the sounds of a quake a few seconds before it hits. That's not predicting, it's just sensing the actual event.
This misuse of prediction devalues the much more interesting, and much more valuable, EARLY predictions by many animals and humans, including dull old me. From a week to a day before the quake, SOMETHING happens that can be sensed, especially by ground-dwellers like frogs. If we can pin down this SOMETHING, we'll have a lifesaver.
