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

Is it true that the San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary?

Yes. Reference sources directly describe the San Andreas Fault as a transform fault that forms a plate boundary between the Pacific and North American plates. Several peer-reviewed papers also refer to it as a transform or strike-slip plate boundary.
