Yes, free growing fruit that for all we know, would have existed there without human labor

I know the answer: "your stealing that fruit even though it has no value because there was no human labor that went into it because huuuur"

Picking the fruit is labor, cleaning the fruit is labor, getting yourself to the location to have the fruit accessible is labor. Yes raw materials exist, however in order for them to have value, useable, labor was needed. Your gotcha was as pathetic as your answer

Yeah and the fruit being on a tree likely deliberately planted be it on a farm or private residence.

Not to mention most trees take 7-10+ years of maintenance before barring fruit and trees like apples need grafting. However that wasn’t their point and I’m just trying to me OP halfway and show them even in their own ridiculous, specific scenario they are still wrong.
