Why is the term "cherry picking" the name of a logical fallacy? I understand the fallacy itself, but why is it called that?
If I pick a fruit off the tree where it grew, and it happens to be a cherry, I can infer within reasonable doubt that this tree is a cherry tree, and any other fruit it produces will also be cherries.

For good measure

>The term cherry picking likely originates with the process of picking fruit from a tree [well, DUH!]. When picking a type of fruit, such as cherries, a person might search for only the best cherries, such as those that are the healthiest. By only picking the best cherries, another person who sees the harvest might make the incorrect assumption that all cherries on the tree are as healthy.
