"Fruit flies like a banana" is a proposition in entomological gastronomy, whereas "Fruit flies like a banana" is a proposition in horticultural aerobatics. These two subjects, while they are important intellectual disciplines demanding our utmost respect, are still in their infancy, and unfortunately we cannot rely on them for more than tentative, if hopeful, guesses as to whether fruit flies do like a banana, or as to whether fruit does fly like a banana, The important fact is that the two fields have as yet no common ground; at present, no reputable interdisciplinary work has been done in both at once; no joint degree has been taken in entomological gastronomy as applied to horticultural aerobatics; no lecture entitled "Fruit flight and the diet of Drosphila: bananism versus pomegranity" has been read, There is no connection between the two sentences.
