Isn't it a bit daft putting a fruit tree in the middle of an orchard and hoping no one will eat the fruit?

What if someone woke up in the night and ate some by mistake?

Update:

Metaphor? In the bible? Really dude?

    Wouldn't an orchard be plum full of fruit trees?

    It's a metaphor for seeking knowledge that might show that religions are false. That's why it was called "the tree of knowledge".

    Yeah, sleep-eating. There ARE people who do that, but I don't know any personally. I've only sleep-walked once, myself.
