To what extent do you think about micro-quakes are effecting the subduction system? I've heard that we see the land deforming, building tension from the subduction, but there is also a regular cadence where the land deformation reverses temporarily. When I heard about it (Nick Zentner popular lecture), it was suggested that it might be relieving the stress from subduction more evenly, and not allowing it to build up.
