I'm claiming I do have an idea. Let's say you have a model that will predict earthquakes based on the number of salmon. I take that model, I see what will happen if I kill or don't kill a salmon, and how that impacts the earthquake. Then I kill or don't kill a salmon. Am I now causing an earthquake? If I am, am I changing the time of the earthquake by an amount that we can actually measure?
