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

Is it true that stainless steel is magnetic?

Unclear. The sources indicate that some stainless steels, notably ferritic and martensitic grades, are magnetic, while austenitic grades are usually non-magnetic unless work-hardened. None establishes the unqualified claim that stainless steel as a whole is magnetic.
