There is progress here... the first set of terms are at a higher logical
level than the second; the first apply to any conscious system, the
second are specific to life as we know it.
This is progress because it allows us to look at self awareness from a
broader perspective.

Wade, I believe you are confusing avocados with artichokes.
Avocados are in fact very easy to eat, having a simple, fairly easily
removable rind (black or green, depending on variety), and a single large
pit, the remainder being extremely edible, chartreuse, fatty flesh. They
are eaten raw, sliced or chopped into salads. Avocados are the source for
guacamole, and half of one also makes a nice nest for a small shrimp
salad.
Artichokes, on the other hand, are quite byzantine in their construction
and the methods of their conquest. They look like vegetable pangolins,
with little claws on their leaf-tips, and blond fur in their
scale-protected underbellies. They require steaming or boiling, the
plucking, dipping, and tooth-scraping of individual leaves, and, when you
reach the heart, shaving with a fork or knife. Artichoke hearts can
also be found marinated, in jars, in which case you avoid the fuss, but,
personally, I like the foreplay.
Anyone who is confused about artichokes and/or avocados may find more
information and pictures at
www.avocado.org
and
www.artichokes.net
I apologize for the digression.

I think you be right....
But I'm damn glad I don't know the difference....

Ah, well, anything with seeds in it is a fruit, but is it eaten as a
fruit? In desserts and jams and stuff?
Don't think so.
Foods are interesting cultural elements though, nomenclature
notwithstanding.
