Neither does LASA guarantee that scientists can tell the difference between some earthquakes and some nuclear blasts. But the computers have a variety of valuable information built in to help them. They are set to label automatically as earthquakes any tremors coming from places with no nuclear capability. And a seismic wave definitely shown to originate...
