The trick is to distinguish between "didn't want to" and "could not." A non sequitur can be playful and Monty Python-esque, or it can be a demonstration of attachment to one's image of oneself as infallible and hence unwilling to admit that one has made an error, or doesn't know quite as much as one would like others to think one does, or that one has emotional or psychological issues around the topic that one wants to avoid dealing with.
