   All residents of the same neighborhood have some goals in common. One group of neighborhood residents wants improvements made to a local park, so

   This doesn't have a sampling flaw. It doesn't say, "because this is true of a some X's, it's true of all X's". It says, "because this is true of some X's, it's true of other X's". And the conditional is related to actually making that sampling move, because it's saying that there will be some shared goals among all residents. We don't know of "local park improvements" has to be one of those shared goals, but that's a different flaw than "we don't know if everyone else is doing what Tanya's friends are doing".

   If all of a restaurant’s customers like its food, it must be an exceptional restaurant. Everyone whom Sherryl consulted liked the food at Chez

   Why this is right

   We've got the conditional, all customers like food ? exceptional restaurant And then we have the sampling move, everyone Sherryl consulted liked the food. And the author acts like that triggers the conditional, and concludes that it's an exceptional restaurant. We're left thinking, people Sherryl consulted ? all customers And maybe some of us are thinking, what a weird way to spell the name Sherryl
