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 Titanic had enough lifeboats for everyone on board?

No. Multiple reference sources state the Titanic carried only 20 lifeboats with capacity for roughly 1,176-1,178 people, well short of the 2,207-2,224 aboard, and several explicitly say there were not enough lifeboats for everyone on board.
