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 taught that the Earth is the center of the universe?

Yes. Multiple reference works state that Aristotle taught a geocentric model with the Earth at the center of the universe, including an encyclopedia entry and an astronomy textbook. One source lists Aristotle among scholars who believed the Earth is a sphere without addressing its central place.
