At what point do we say that science is wrong about berries

You can’t look at me with a straight face and say a banana is a berry.

Look at the whole fruit bundle before they break it apart for shipping. You can't tell me it's NOT a berry.

Just gotta accept that we have Berry[culinary] and Berry[botanical] and these variants are unstated and must be inferred from context.

Technically, a banana is the whole big-ass thing that grows on the tree. What you know as a banana is what is called a finger of a banana.
