(comment)	For years I've been looking for a translation for that everyday Japanese speciality, the nonsequitur (I personally prefer "non sequitur" as two words). At last, I've tracked down a suitable-looking word at Space ALC. You already have 不合理, so this is an additional English (well, Latin) meaning - well within the scope of your existing offerings.
