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

Is it true that snakes have vestigial legs?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on pelvic spurs states that these structures are vestigial legs in certain snakes, made of femur remnants from ancestral hind limbs. Several other reference works also describe some snakes as having vestigial legs.
