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

Is it true that the song 'Puff, the Magic Dragon' is secretly about smoking marijuana?

No. Two reference sources directly address the claim: the song's writers repeatedly and consistently denied any drug references, and a Snopes fact check rated the coded-marijuana interpretation False, calling it a song about lost childhood innocence.
