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

Is it true that Mount Everest is the tallest mountain above sea level?

Partly. Reference works state Mount Everest is the highest mountain above sea level, while one source notes that 'tallest' is often used loosely and that Mauna Kea is tallest when measured base-to-peak. The disagreement turns on the word 'tallest' versus 'highest above sea level'.
