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

Is it true that static electricity discharge produces a visible spark in dry air?

Yes. A reference article states that static discharge superheats surrounding air, producing a bright flash, and that a lightning bolt is a scaled-up version of domestic static sparks; a second source notes static buildup occurs readily in cold, dry air. Together these support that static discharge produces a visible spark in dry air.
