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

Is it true that benzene is aromatic according to Hückel's rule?

Yes. A benzene reference article states that benzene satisfies the rules of aromaticity and Hückel's rule and is classed as an aromatic hydrocarbon, and a chemistry Q&A lists benzene among systems obeying the Hückel rule. Another source applies the 4n+2 rule to benzene's six π electrons.
