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

Is it true that people swallow large numbers of spiders while they sleep?

No. One source directly addresses the claim and states the spider-swallowing statistic is an utter fabrication, tracing it to a 1993 magazine hoax. The remaining retrieved items are unrelated to the claim.
