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

Is it true that Basilisk lizards can run across the surface of water?

Yes. Multiple reference and textbook sources state directly that basilisk lizards can run across the surface of water, and peer-reviewed studies of basilisk water-running presuppose and confirm the behavior.
