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

Is it true that salt increases water's density?

Yes. A geology reference states that dissolved salt ions add mass and increase the density of water, making seawater denser than freshwater, and a Wikipedia density article notes a fluid's density is greater when salt is mixed in.
