That assertion is consistent with the analysis of wave velocity which shows there must be light elements in the liquid core (roughly 5 %, the liquid is roughly the size of the moon) and theoretical analysis for the liquid core that shows CH4 can «dissolve» in the liquid core and would be extruded when a portion of liquid core solidifies.
