A nonargument takes many shapes are a type of logical fallacy.
There are a few typical nonarguments:
warnings
pieces of advice
statements of belief
statements of opinion
loosely associated statements
reports
expository passages
illusrations
explanations
A term like hence indicates an explanation might be at work.
conditional statements
A statement beginning with 'if' indicates a conditional at work and is therefore a nonargument.
