Besides which, I've seen the picture (or a picture of the picture) and I'm positive that it's a picture of an apple and not an apple per se.

Well, technically, guys...if you want to be boringly Descartes about all this: It's not an apple, it is a painting of an apple. It's not an apple, it is a photograph of an apple. If you can't eat it, then it's obviously not an apple. I mean, is this a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup?: http://makeashorterlink.com/?G59C15B43

It is an apple. An apple is more than the actual fruit. In our language, we name things. And we name drawings of familiar forms, such as apples, with the words from the language. Sorry. Show me a drawing of an apple and I'll use my language to identify what you've shown me--the word my language provides for that drawing--tough luck--is apple. All that said, I love the art! I love the written "This is not an apple." It's humorous.  and even ironically so
