How does it not? When making a fruit salad, the knowledge that tomatoes don't go in fruit salad seems pretty relevant.

If you don't have any arguments you downvote, you stupid troll?

You don't have to know that tomatoes are fruit for that? Your reply makes no sense at all. I say "you don't need to know H" and your reply is "but you do need to know Y"! Not to mention that specifically your reply is something only worth knowing when when does know that tomatoes are fruit, and not when one doesn't.
