ARGH!~

No, you are wrong.  Someone has read the Table of the
Elephants incorrectly!

The dividing line at that point is almost diagonal,
separating Al, Sn (tin), and Pb (lead), from such
things as Boron, Carbon, Phosphorous, Arsenic, and
Chlorine.

Where's Barry,....... no, not that one,....... no, the
