trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim

Static electric shocks from door handles are caused by triboelectric charging and sudden discharge.

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

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

Is it true that static electric shocks from door handles are caused by triboelectric charging and sudden discharge?

The physical explanation of static electric shocks resulting from contact electrification and subsequent discharge is a matter of everyday observation and textbook physics, requiring no formal citation.

The analysis

The claim states that static electric shocks from door handles are caused by triboelectric charging and sudden discharge. This is a fundamental, well-known physical phenomenon (contact electrification and electrostatic discharge) that is trivially true by basic everyday observation and foundational physics principles. Per instructions, claims that are trivially true by everyday observation are classified as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE, do not require citations, and have empty index lists.
