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

Is it true that Cockroaches are biologically immortal and never die of old age?

Unclear. No retrieved source addresses cockroach lifespan directly. The closest items define biological immortality and debunk the analogous lobster-immortality myth, which only partially bears on the claim.
