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

Is it true that cats can see in total darkness?

No. One reference work states outright that cats cannot see in total darkness, and two other sources describe feline night vision as limited to very low-light conditions rather than true darkness.
