Ships have round windows because round windows distribute hull stress better than square corners.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING

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

Is it true that ships have round windows because round windows distribute hull stress better than square corners?

Unclear. A popular trivia book states portholes are round because sharp corners are weak points where cracks develop, and two 1932 naval-architecture papers plus a glass-fiber study show sharp corners concentrate stress relative to rounded or circular holes. None of these items directly establishes that ships have round windows specifically because round windows distribute hull stress better than square corners.
