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

Is it true that ticks jump or fall from trees onto their hosts?

No. Two reference works state that ticks do not jump or free-fall onto hosts; they crawl and contact hosts by questing. This directly contradicts the claim that ticks jump or fall from trees onto their hosts.
