There are two options imho:

• They’re so far up in their own media bubble that they don’t believe it’s true.
• They don’t care about it. Or at least not enough compared to the advantages of having said person in positions of power.

People don’t wanna lose their jobs or end up in jail.l

I fully agree with you on that.

A berry is a fleshy fruit without a pit produced by a single flower containing a single ovary.

This definition is different from the colloquial culinary one which refers to anything small, growing on a small plant or bush and without a pit.

• blackberry: nuh-uh
• Strawberry: you’re an accessory fruit
• banana: yup, totally a berry
• watermelon: go for it

That’s nuts

Durian would’ve been a fruitable :p

Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

Here ya go bud.

I understand wanting out of echo chambers but this has been everywhere for awhile.

Yeah but what if your option is objectively better even if not anyone has your exact usage?

refrains real hard from proselytizing

Nope, just plain ole terrorism.
