It's not a matter of needing anything. It's a matter of simply observing there are different classes of a phenomenon and identifying them:Pythagorean said:So what? We don't have a Shoe Nonsequitor and a Whirlpools Nonsequitor. Why do we need a special class of nonsequitor for when human feelings are involved?
Which means Jimmy Snyder was right:Wiki said:All formal fallacies are special cases of non sequitur...
... Many types of known non sequitur argument forms have been classified into many different types of logical fallacies.
(Unless, of course, he jumped over and edited the Wiki when no one was looking. Hehe.)Jimmy Snyder said:I suppose that every logical fallacy has a non sequitur in it somewhere. If so, then it doesn't shed any light on the subject to note that Ad Hominem fallicies are also non sequiturs.
