Suppose Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish-born inventor, scientist, and engineer who is credited with inventing and patenting the first practical telephone. He also founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T). Bell's father, grandfather, and brother were all associated with work on elocution and speech and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.
Can we infer that "Alexander Graham Bell's family had no influence on his work in communication technology."? Yes, no, or maybe?
