Recorded sources

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

Is it true that logical positivists rejected metaphysics as meaningless?

Yes. An encyclopedia entry and a scholarly article both state that logical positivists rejected metaphysical statements as cognitively meaningless under the verifiability criterion. Other sources confirm the anti-metaphysics stance without the explicit 'meaningless' label.
