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

Is it true that washing well-seasoned cast-iron cookware with mild soap damages its seasoning?

No. A reference article states it is a common misconception that cleaning a well-seasoned cast-iron pan with mild soap removes or damages the seasoning, and a cookbook advises mild soap is fine. One cookbook reports that many Dutch oven cooks believe soap ruins seasoning, but that is reported belief rather than a finding.
