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

Is it true that cutting an earthworm in half produces two living worms?

No. One reference item directly addresses the claim and states that cutting an earthworm in half is an untrue urban legend: the two halves do not survive independently, and the worm usually dies. The remaining retrieved items concern unrelated earthworm ecology, microplastics, or other topics and settle nothing.
