Not exactly. I'm declaring that "non-sequitir" does not apply to conclusions drawn from omissions.

However, a conclusion drawn from something said could indeed be a "non-sequitir" - for instance, "the coffee is ready" does not follow from "the bread is in the oven."

At the same time, you seem to be saying that if someone says "The coffee is ready", you can conclude that "the bread is in the oven" if they didn't say "The coffee is ready, and the bread is not in the oven."
