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

Is it true that Yellowstone is a supervolcano?

Yes. The USGS Yellowstone page defines a supervolcano and explicitly counts Yellowstone among supervolcanoes, and an encyclopedia entry calls the Yellowstone Caldera the largest supervolcano in North America. Several other sources refer to the Yellowstone supervolcano in passing.
