Android Earthquake Alerts, on the counting side, is the opposite problem

set aside as
NOT FOUND
the researcher's note
Android Earthquake Alerts, on the counting side, is the opposite problem: the counts are superb (790 million alerts, over 2,000 earthquakes, 98 countries, 2.5 billion people with access against 250 million in 2019 — https://research.google/blog/android-earthquake-alerts-a-global-system-for-early-warning/; the Science paper adds that 85% of alerted people felt shaking and 36% got the alert before it). It fails the definition gate instead; see below.
