Hi Anureet,
Thank you for your question.
The flaw here is not that the premise was wrong, but that it was a logical error to come to such a definite conclusion based only on what the guard said. The guard isn't necessary lying, but because he is in a position where he might be blamed, one would want more evidence before coming to the conclusion in the stimulus.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Bob
