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

Is it true that flow requires a balance between challenge and skill?

Yes. An encyclopedia entry on flow and a positive-psychology text both state that flow requires a balance between challenge and skill. Several empirical studies also report challenge-skill balance as a key antecedent of flow, though each covers only a narrow sample.
