It means earthquakes don't affect seismographs 4 hours before the earthquake happens,
at least not in a way anybody knows how to interpret.
If not fraud I can almost guarantee what happened, after the disaster a huge effort was
made to examine the data, it was "corrected" and analyzed statistically in all sorts of
ingenious ways until they got something they liked; no similar effort was made at other
times when nothing special was happening. Computing power is dirt cheap so if
BEFORE the event there was a clear criteria as to what was anomalous and what
was not as claimed then there was no reason on earth the experiment didn't ring a big
bell 4 hours before the first airplane hit. A bell did not ring, I am not impressed, it's just
too easy to fool yourself.
