      Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren’t mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn’t an apples vs oranges comparison.

      Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
