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

Is it true that Marco Polo traveled to China in the thirteenth century?

Yes. Britannica states Marco Polo traveled from Europe to Asia in 1271–95 and remained in China for 17 years, and a peer-reviewed chapter states he traveled the Silk Road from Venice to China in the thirteenth century. Other reference works and scholarly papers also describe his thirteenth-century journey to China, though some note scholarly debate about it.
