Is the tomato a fruit? Yes -- in the sense that "fruit" is a word with a coherent definition based on the qualities of a plant that are of interest to botanists. But everybody also knows that when someone says "you can substitute any kind of fruit you have on hand" in a recipe for fruit salad, they're not fucking talking about tomatoes. Raspberries aren't berries, except fuck you, of course they are. Maybe there's no such thing as a fish, but there's not gonna be shark at the fucking fish fry. There's a difference between bisexuality and pansexuality, but if you think you know what it is, no you don't. Everybody thinks they care about justice, and actually, everybody actually does care about whatever they understand justice to mean. Words mean things, but unfortunately they mean a few too many things, so human communication remains messy and contextual.
Saxophones are woodwind instruments, though, because being louder and shinier than your sister the clarinet doesn't mean you're not still family. Free your minds.
