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

Is it true that Anti-war protesters commonly spat on US Vietnam veterans returning to the United States?

No. Two reference works on the spitting story report that historians who examined police and court records and veteran accounts found no evidence of anti-war protesters spitting on returning Vietnam veterans, and one states the narrative is false.
