And this is the whole point of the controversy: The same word can have multiple meanings in different contexts and some people have trouble with that concept.

There's no controversy, only differing categories.

If you are saying tomato is a fruit, you are using the botany category

When I say tomato is a vegetable, I am using the culinary category

If there's argument it's only because someone is keeping the category secret
