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

Is it true that Goldfish can live healthily in a small bowl?

No. A reference article states fishbowls are detrimental to goldfish health, causing death, disease and stunting, and that they are prohibited in several municipalities; a 1904 naturalist column and a Skeptics thread also indicate bowls are not suitable housing.
