2. We know for certain that the frequency earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 and greater remains constant.
3. The only scientific inference we can make is that because larger earthquakes remain constant in frequency then smaller ones likely do as well.
4. We could be wrong but we have no better evidence to base that belief on.

So we can't know for certain there are more, less or it remaining the same....yep. That's what I thought
You may not have gotten my point. That's what made it confusing, the fact that this was supposed to be a rebuttal to there being more earth quakes BUT the only ones we knew for certain remained fairly constant were those 7.0 and greater...
