Yeah, I was thinking about biological trees. In retrospect, I should've gone with "there's no such thing as a fish."

My favorite example is "berry". Everything that you think is a berry isn't botanically a berry... but tomatos and bananas are.

OK... technically it's almost everything you think is a berry isn't. But it sure feels like it's everything.

Haha yes please! I thought you were talking about literal taxonomic trees.
