Well it’s a comfort to see that I guessed right - if just one other person with a vague notion serves as confirmation.

I am disappointed that the article doesn’t discuss what changes in the fiber might be occurring that are measurable.

My simple-minded interpretation is “when the fiber breaks; you know there was a severe quake.”

I rather hope it is something more interesting; like phase shift in the transmitted wavelengths or another kind of subtle effect that is measurable without being a problem for data transmission.
