What has led to the unrealistic public expectation of
earthquake prediction?

Why is the prediction effort so persistent?

Why did risk mitigation not obtain as high a profile
as it truly deserves?

What did seismologists in China, particularly in Sichuan, do before theWenchuan earthquake?

Why were seismic design regulations so poorly enforced?

Did the emphasis on prediction have a negative effect on mitigation? （他们说，在整个1966-1976阶段，以及1976-2008阶段的早期，地震预报工作确实削弱了抗震工作；而且宣传地震预报成功的故事总要带来虚假的安全感）

基本都回答了。
