I&#x27;ve heard those arguments but I&#x27;m not qualified to take a position on them either way.  I also don&#x27;t know how much trust to put in the studies that predict doom for the Viaduct in a future Nisqually-class earthquake, or how much trust to put in the engineers who say that a similar earthquake won&#x27;t be even more disastrous for drivers caught in the tunnel.  None of these people have a great track record for accurate prognostications.
