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

Is it true that Human-created passwords are easy to guess?

Unclear. Several sources indicate that human-chosen passwords tend to be easy to guess, including a Wikipedia list of common password types and a security book noting most human-selected passwords are easy to remember and easy to hack. None of the placed items quantifies or fully settles the general claim; they support it only in part.
