Wow. I would also like to point out how ridiculous this line is:The discovery does not, on its own, increase the chance of an eruption

I believe you're correct. I don't know much about volcanoes but I think the shallow chamber he mentioned is the part that is closest to the surface of the volcano. So when it empties we have an eruption. These two additional chambers just mean that the volcano has more magma than previously thought.
