Science paper's abstract has one word

This wasnt the first time an earthquake-related research question was answered with a single word. Another paper from 1974 posed a similar question, basically, do earthquakes occur randomly in time, and answered it yes. In this case, the evidence suggests something similar: Earthquakes dont occur on preferred days of the year, solar or lunar.That was the point of the exercise, in fact: to boil lunar/tidal triggering down to the questions that most people think about, Hough told Gizmodo in an email. Once it was clear there is no evidence for a significant correlation, the abstract wrote itself =)
