• The Latin expression non sequitur means "does not follow"

• Arguments employ the non sequitur fallacy whenever the claims they advance do not logically follow from the premises and evidence provided on their behalf.

• The evidentiary fallacy of insufficient instances involves drawing unwarranted conclusions based on inadequate support. In this sense, the fallacy of insufficient instances is an example of non sequitur reasoning.

• This method of deception draws on feelings related to "processing fluency". See [brain]. The arguer attempts to stimulate "easy feelings of recall" in the audience or opponent, from a closely but not directly related circumstance, then the arguer attempts to slip his or her conclusion in under the fog of the present moment, thereby creating an assumption of rightness. Following the insertion of the conclusion, the arguer will follow with further unrelated but correct information or Obscuration.
