the claim

Rational expectations destabilize the cobweb theorem model.

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

Is it true that rational expectations destabilize the cobweb theorem model?

Yes. Rational expectations introduce complexities that can destabilize traditional cobweb economic models, leading to cycles and bifurcations rather than smooth convergence to equilibrium.

The analysis

The retrieved literature, particularly papers [0] and [6], discusses how expectations (specifically rational expectations) affect the dynamics of the classical cobweb model, showing that they lead to instability, cycles, and bifurcations. No papers refute this claim. Therefore, the verdict is SUPPORTED.
