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

Is it true that governments can create money out of thin air?

Yes. One book on economics states plainly that governments can create money out of thin air, and a review essay discusses money creation as a bottom-up process, though it focuses on banks rather than governments.
