What is a characteristic feature of a non sequitur fallacy?

A characteristic feature of a non sequitur fallacy is that the conclusion is drawn from unrelated premises. This type of logical fallacy occurs when there is a disconnect between the argument’s premises and its conclusion, leading to reasoning that does not logically follow from the initial statements. For example, if someone argues that because it is raining today, the team will win the next game, the conclusion about the team's performance does not logically connect to the weather condition.

This fallacy often misleads audiences because it presents a conclusion without providing relevant evidence or support that leads logically to that conclusion. Understanding this aspect of the non sequitur fallacy helps identify weaknesses in arguments and encourages clearer reasoning.
