Waiting-time statistics are generated from the Olami-Feder-Christensen model and shown to mimic some aspects of real seismicity. Preliminary analysis of the model data implies a recently proposed universal scaling law for the distribution in seismicity may be due to a mixing between aftershocks and uncorrelated event pairs, thus having limited application. Earthquake catalog data is also presented to support the argument.
