>>	3rdyearChemfag !Zm8pCdtzww Fri Jun 4 10:23:10 2010 No.1103418 Why is it a logical fallacy?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 4 10:23:10 2010 No.1103419 >>1103418 Because it's science.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 4 10:27:10 2010 No.1103431 Non-Sequitur In Latin this term translates to "doesn't follow". This refers to an argument in which the conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises. In other words, a logical connection is implied where none exists.
