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

Economic and game-theoretic literature indicates that repeated strategic interactions and bidding processes tend to cause players to reveal their private information.

The analysis

Paper [2] explicitly shows that bidders will reveal all their information in a variety of contexts, and paper [3] discusses how signals and private data are revealed over the course of incomplete information games. Paper [1] and [0] are tangential (discussing seller information revelation and wargaming frameworks respectively). Therefore, the claim is supported.
