You need to read more carefully.

No, I read it correctly. The article clearly intended to misrepresent that paper's findings to suggest that gold is created by earthquakes. And as the citation you gave demonstrates, I was correct. It isn't.

[Agamemnon]

From the abstract again:

"The veins formed under fluctuating pressures during earthquakes, but the magnitude of the pressure fluctuations and their influence on mineral deposition is not known."

Earthquakes are momentary occurrences. The article says gold veins are formed during earthquakes. The writer says "Gold forms from deep earthquakes almost instantly."

You have conflated the meaning of gold being formed with the very different meaning of gold being created.

The meanings are not the same. The author of the piece is correct, and you are not.

Unlike you, at least read the article abstract before I posted.
