Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Wikiquote records this attribution to Mahatma Gandhi as DISPUTED: the archive itself currently sets out doubt about whether they said it. As quoted by William Rees-Mogg in "The Times" [London] (4 April 2005) {not found}. Gandhi here makes reference to a statement of Jesus: “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Luke 16:13); also partly quoted in "Christianity in the Crosshairs: Real Life Solutions Discovered in the Line of Fire" (2004, p. 74 books.google) by Bill Wilson.
