Na. It's more like someone goes into a gardening list and asks about
growing "red, fruity things." Some people start talking about tomatoes,
someone else starts talking about apples and cherries. Soon, there's an
argument over whether "red, fruity things" grow on trees or bushes.
Then someone steps in, claims to have been a dirt farmer since the
womb, and says that he looked it up, and what those tree growing people
call "red, fruity things," aren't, and he and every farmer he knows has
always called tomatoes "red, fruity things," and he's never used the
book learnt technical name of tomato.
