I think you mean "The entire problem here is incorrectly assuming that "A has a pointer to B" implies "A owns B"." Although perhaps I'm wrong.

  Not quite what I meant. What I meant was that the hidden assumption is that ownership must be expressed through a direct pointer, leading him to ignore the possibility of something like std::list, which doesn't have a direct pointer to all the nodes.
