Oh no you don't. Here it comes, the wiggle room, the "it doesn't have to be exact", the "let's just give it another chance."
No. Either it's a cycle or it's not. If you have to start bending the rules to allow for margins of error, then you're trying to manipulate fact in order to suit theory.

Lol. Saying it has to be exactly 188 days is retarded considering the scale(planetary) we are talking about. The fact that one happened yet again at this time is strong indication that there is something to it, more likely than not.

Saying "it doesn't have to be exact" is retarded when you're trying to nail down some predictive theory. The more margin of error you allow, the less predictive it becomes.
But if all you're after is, "earthquakes happen. Sometimes. Usually around now. Give or take a few days", then I could have told you that way back at the beginning. Which I think I did.

I'm not saying this 188 day cycle is real, but think about this--I saw that someone explained it in relation to a woman's monthly cycle. Every woman knows that you can be off a day one way or the other...but it is still a cycle. One month you might be 27 days, the next 29. So because it is not exactly precisely the same length of time each month, you disregard the idea that it is a cycle? Of course not.
