		Unless, of course, the bakery gestalt is making, through these non sequiturs, some such point about the overall readability of Total Non Sequitur.

	Tim Lynch's Review of "Non Sequitur"
		This time, "Non Sequitur" strikes me as a reworking of "Parallels" (alias "Schrodinger's Klingon"), which saw Worf jumping between alternate realities as a result of a shuttle accident.
		"Non Sequitur" was entertaining enough in spots, but it suffers greatly in comparison to "Parallels", for two strong reasons.
		"Non Sequitur" was fun, and I enjoyed it -- but these sort of stories are starting to run a little too often for my tastes.

	Logical Fallacies and the Art of Debate
		For these reasons, it is generally bad form to scream "non sequitur" just because your opposition has failed to anticipate every counterargument you might make.
		The best time to point out a non sequitur is when your opposition is trying to construct a chain of causation (A leads to B leads to C, etc.) without justifying each step in the chain.
		For each step in the chain they fail to justify, point out the non sequitur, so that it is obvious by the end that the alleged chain of causation is tenuous and implausible.
