The argument concludes that left-handed people are not more prone to cause accidents than right-handed people. This is supported by the point that more household accidents are caused by right-handed people than by left-handed people.

The argument is flawed because it confuses percentages and amounts. The claim that right-handed people cause a greater number of accidents doesn’t disprove that left-handed individuals are more prone to accidents. If most people are right-handed, then left-handed people may still cause more accidents relative to their population size, making them more prone to accidents.

The only distinction the argument makes is between left-handed and right-handed people, where there is a real difference.

The argument concludes that left-handed people aren’t more prone to accidents, but its support only addresses the number of accidents caused by left- and right-handed people. Without knowing the percentage of different-handed people, that evidence can’t support that conclusion.

The argument uses “accidents” in a consistent sense. When the term “accidents” is used, it’s always referring to unintentional incidents that cause some kind of damage.

This possibility wouldn’t have any effect on the argument. We would still be accounting for all the left- and right-handed people involved in causing household accidents, even if they weren’t the sole cause.

The argument does give relevant evidence about the frequency of accidents caused by right- and left-handed people. It’s just missing clarifying evidence about the size of the right- and left-handed populations.
