Drowning people typically wave their arms and shout for help.

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

Is it true that drowning people typically wave their arms and shout for help?

No. Two reference sources on drowning state that a person close to drowning cannot keep their mouth above water to shout and cannot voluntarily wave for attention, directly contradicting the claim that drowning people typically wave and shout.
