No one seriously into earth quake prediction tries to predict M4 earthquakes or makes a watch area thr size of the lower 48. So that right there is a strawman. Plus no one cares about M4 earth quakes.
The latest science is detecting abrupt changes in the earth's magnetic field minutes before the fault snaps on M6 and bigger quakes.
USGS will continue with "there is no such thing as earth quake prediction" until after they them selves start issuing earth quake warnings. And then they will take credit for it.
