2. Peggy Rosenthal offers a slightly different explanation of the same phenomenon: “Even<br />
when we think we are choosing our words with care and giving them precise meanings,<br />
they can mean much more (or less) than we think; and when we use them carelessly,<br />
without thinking, they can still carry thoughts. These thoughts we’re not aware of, these<br />
meanings we don’t intend, can then carry us into certain beliefs and behavior—whether<br />
or not we notice where we’re going.” Rosenthal, Words and Values: Some Leading Words<br />
and Where They Lead Us (New York: Oxford University Press, 1984), viii.<br />
3. One example of non sequitur is a child’s answer to his teacher’s question “Why do you<br />
get so dirty during playtime?” He responded, “Because I’m closer to the ground than<br />
you are.” Another is the conclusion of a medical authority in 1622 about the treatment<br />
of a wound: “If the wound is large, the weapon [emphasis added] with which the patient<br />
has been wounded should be anointed daily; otherwise, every two or three days.” The<br />
medical quotation is from Christopher Cerf and Victor Navasky, The Experts Speak: The<br />
Definitive Compendium of Authoritative Misinformation (New York: Villard, 1998), p. 38.<br />
