the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

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

Is it true that Shutting down a computer with the power button instead of the shutdown command corrupts files?

Unclear. Two items only partially touch the claim: a UPS guide notes that a power outage can leave documents unsaved unless the computer is shut down properly, and a news report notes computers that could not shut down safely. Neither addresses pressing the power button or file corruption, so the evidence covers only a weaker, adjacent point.
