First at all here the discussion is not about what I like or not to think, you are trying to push this discussion into to the realm of subjectivism,...
sub·jec·tiv·ism (sb-jkt-vzm)
n.
1. The quality of being subjective.
2.
a. The doctrine that all knowledge is restricted to the conscious self and its sensory states.
b. A theory or doctrine that emphasizes the subjective elements in experience.
3. Any of various theories holding that the only valid standard of judgment is that of the individual. For example, ethical subjectivism holds that individual conscience is the only appropriate standard for moral judgment.

This will happen between now and september 2012
emphasis mine
Even with your own statisics it is clear that in the last 100 years you reported to have happened 44 seismic motions of really important intensity, although let me point that some of your records show, that is something everybody can verify, the first shock and the immediate aftershock occured with difference of minutes, as it happened in 1957, so it was just only one earthquake.
June 11th 2012 post by the Angel of Lightness, from this same thread.
That is not all, of course we will continue having a lot of volcanic and seismic events in South America, a continent that is entering in great activity all along the andes, , and in the north pacific coast of Asia, , something that is specially worrying for the USA, since a strong Megaquake in that area could produce a giant tsunami over the Pacific coast of this country.
- Only three earthquakes ( 1994, 1999, 2006) of your list reached or surpassed the magnitude of 5.0 in the sea to the north of Svalbard in the time frame you have mentioned from 1977 to 2012, that is, in about 35 years!
- Only in 7 years from all the time frame you have provided, since 1965 to 2012 there were earthquakes in Greenland sea of magnitude 5.0 or more. ( 1965, 1976, 1983, 1995, 1999, 2011 and 2012), and this is a period of 47 years!
- Only in countable occasions (14) Alaska has also experienced stronger earthquakes of more than 5 in the past 108 years: ( Fairbanks ( 1904), Aleutian Is(1906), Salcha( 1937), Shumagin Is (1938), Unimak Is ( 1946), Fairbanks (1947), Andreonof(1957), Huslia (1958), Fairweather(1958), Prince William sound (1964), Rat Is (1965), Rampart (1968),Andreonof Is (1986), Gulf of Alaska (1987).
Take in account you are discussing with a Statistician, before to try to use Data to try to deviate the attention on the subject, that this was indeed a remarkable accomplishment of my forecasts on seismic activity, and this is just only the begining, there is a lot more to come.
In concrete terms I have seen a great seismic motion shaking the soil with terrible violence along one of the coasts of North America, and in my opinion it might be the west one, in an area highly populated and intersected by geolical faults comming from the bottom of the sea to the continent.
This means, to avoid any misunderstanding, that we are going to see a sequential occurence of earthquakes from the north east of the country to the north west and finally to southwest coast, in which more or less each one will be stronger than the previous one, starting with one that might overcome the 6 or 7 richter that will be soon, until to arrive to the last one that will be a real Megaquake in all sense, that is, reaching or even overcoming the intensity of 9 richter.
My most respectful and responsible warning to the people living in the north western USA coast, as well as in the far western Canadian, to be prepared for a major emergency caused by a direct earthquake on the coast or by a powerful Tsunami released either from the offshore close to their coast line or from the deep pacific in the surroundings of the Russian far east. .

my two cents....predicting large earthquakes in large and well-established earthguake zones, can be done by anybody. maybe this is why your predictions do not have the gravitas you desire.
