No. Real knowledge is to know that a tomato is botanically a fruit and culinary a vegetable: "Botanically, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant: therefore it is a fruit. However, the tomato is not as sweet as those foodstuffs usually called fruits and, from a culinary standpoint, it is typically served as part of a salad or main course of a meal, as are vegetables, rather than at dessert in the case of most fruits. As noted above, the term vegetable has no botanical meaning and is purely a culinary term."

Knowledge is knowing you have tomatoes in the 'fridge or garden. Wisdom is knowing you need to get to them before your daughters do and leave you with nothing...
