Area resident: Childhood lead poisoning has declined steadily since the 1970s, when leaded gasoline was phased out and lead paint was banned. But recent statistics indicate that 25 percent of this area' s homes still contain lead paint that poses significant health hazards. Ttherefore, if we eliminate the lead paint in those homes, childhood lead poisoning in the area will finally be eradicated. The area resident's argument is flawed in that it ['takes for granted that children reside in all of the homes in the area that contain lead paint', 'relies on an assumption that is tantamount to assuming that the conclusion is true', "fails to consider that there may be other significant sources of lead in the area's environment", 'relies on statistical claims that are likely to be unreliable']
