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

Is it true that a hypothesis must be falsifiable to count as a scientific theory?

Yes. Reference works state that falsifiability is a standard of evaluation for scientific theories and that a theory not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. Several research papers also treat falsifiable predictions as a requirement for scientific theories.
