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

Is it true that Lemmings deliberately jump off cliffs in mass suicide?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that the idea lemmings deliberately jump off cliffs in mass suicide is a myth; the behavior was staged for the 1958 Disney film White Wilderness, and lemmings migrate and sometimes drown but do not commit suicide.
