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

Do humans only use 10 percent of their brains?

No. Multiple sources, including a Snopes fact-check rated False, a Wikipedia article, and a Skeptics StackExchange answer citing neurologist Barry Gordon, state that the claim humans use only 10 percent of their brains is a myth and that virtually all of the brain is used.
