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

Is it true that Aristotle believed happiness is the highest good?

Yes. One peer-reviewed source directly states that Aristotle held the highest good for humanity to be happiness. Other reference works describe Aristotle's account of eudaimonia (happiness) as the aim of human action and the highest happiness as contemplation, supporting the claim in part.
