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

Is it true that Aristotle thought virtue is necessary for happiness?

Yes. A philosophy reference states directly that Aristotle regarded virtue as necessary for a person to be happy. Other sources describe Aristotle's link between virtuous activity and happiness but do not state the necessity as explicitly.
