SINGLE SOURCE
This claim is identical in meaning to Claim 0, but the evidence provided for Claim 9 is empty. However, since Claim 0 was corroborated, and this claim is merely a rephrasing of Claim 0, the evidence for Claim 0 is sufficient to confirm the fact. Given the instructions to use the evidence, and the lack of evidence here, we must note the lack of specific evidence for this index, but rely on the corroboration from Claim 0's evidence.
