Get comfortable; I'm gonna take you down a little trip into Bizarro Land. In Sacramento, my son & I went to do a little service to an elderly couple and do some top work on their stone fruit and their apples. He took us aside and told us that he had a fig branch coming out of his orange tree. It was there when they moved into this house a few years before. We explained that things like that aren't possible because of the things that we've already discussed in this forum. He took us over to look at it. All three of us were on our hands and knees examining it for a half hour, and we concluded, YES, he had a fig branch coming out of his orange tree! Can anyone explain that? It was down not too far above the soil. The "fig" branch never produced fruit as far as I know. It was a big, healthy, and mature branch. Three of us saw it, touched it, laid sideways on the ground to get up close, and we all agree that it was real. There's plenty of evidence that it didn't happen. But can anyone argue that my conclusion is correct? Remember, it didn't bear fruit, so I'm not advocating that it's worthwhile, just possible.
