You can argue that but I dont buy it. Because of a very simple logic. There must be hundreds of houses in the area where he lives where the range uses gas instead of electricity.

The design of the gas intake system, specially in track houses development, must be to accomodate the maximum number of gas appliances in a typical house. Whether the original house owner selected an electric range and later on converted to a gas range should be taken care of in the original design.
