Don't blame someone else for your own problems.
Note this study is not based on any actual measurement using some sort of sub-surface stress gauge.
It's based on a model using data of prior quakes and slip rates, which are generally known and actually measured (mostly).

Bottom line. When stresses exceed 2.6, there is a big earthquake is southern California inland of LA east of the El Cajon Pass. When stresses exceed 3.0 out there, one he’ll of a large earthquake occurs out there.
Stresses are now 3.1 to 3.2.
All holy hell is expected.
