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

Is it true that fingernails grow faster than toenails?

Yes. A peer-reviewed study of healthy American young adults reports that average fingernail growth rate was faster than toenail growth rate (3.47 vs. 1.62 mm/month, P < 0.01). Two historical newspaper items give fingernail growth rates but do not compare them with toenails.
