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

Is it true that collisions between pairs of black holes have been detected through gravitational waves since 2015?

Yes. Multiple independent sources confirm that gravitational waves from merging binary black holes were first detected in September 2015 and that dozens of such black hole merger events have since been observed.
