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

Is it true that earthquakes are no more likely to occur at night than during the day?

Yes. The USGS states that earthquakes are equally likely to occur in the morning or the evening, and that large earthquake catalogs show no significant correlation between occurrence rate and semi-diurnal tides. This directly supports the claim that earthquakes are no more likely at night than during the day.
