   Non-sequiturs sometimes sound convincing   
   and one might convince one's self the logic is sound.   
      
   When, in fact, it isn't.   
      
   If one meets someone who is thirsty and the water works, it works.   
   If the water does not suit the taste, then it doesn't work.   
      
   If it worked all the time for all minds, then it would.   
   But it doesn't. And that's the fact. That's reality.   
      
   When premises are flawed, a conclusion might be valid   
   based on those false premises. Such is called, unsound.
