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

Is it true that large numbers of distraught stockbrokers jumped to their deaths after the 1929 Wall Street Crash?

No. One source, drawing on Galbraith's study of U.S. death statistics, indicates that suicides in October and November 1929 were actually low, with only a few isolated and well-publicized cases rather than large numbers of stockbrokers jumping to their deaths.
