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

Is it true that methane dissolves in water only to a very small extent at room temperature and normal pressure?

Yes. One chemistry reference states that methane's dissolution in water is not favored and results in very small solubilities at room temperature, supporting the claim. A high-pressure study shows solubility rises greatly only under extreme pressures, which does not contradict the normal-pressure claim.
