- wtallis 16y agoI'd suspect that at least half of the journalists reporting on this don't even know that there is a replacement for the Richter scale. Particularly with translation involved, it's pretty easy for one publication to drop the reference to the moment scale and the next publication to reattach the Richter name to the number.
