Tom, Out of curiosity, are you referring to the Erie County Dept of Health PA or Erie County Dept of Health NY website. Thank you. I would not include that comment, Tom. As a former MA-licensed lead paint inspector (XRF), I now say "if you want to find out if that is lead paint or not, hire a licensed (or certified) lead paint inspector (who uses XRF technology). They can tell you where it is (and where it isn't)." Then I point them to MA governmental website link in regards to lead paint. End of story. Many times while using XRF, I found that paint from long ago did not have lead in it.
