How can you prove that a nut is a fruit?

By referring to the botanical definition:A nut in botany is a simple dry fruit with one seed (rarely two) in which the ovary wall becomes very hard (stony or woody) at maturity, and where the seed remains attached or fused with the ovary wall. Most nuts come from the pistils with inferiorovaries (see flower) and all are indehiscent (not opening at maturity). True nuts are produced, for example, by some plant families of the order Fagales. This includes chestnuts, acorns and hazelnuts.Other nuts are not strictly (botanically speaking) a fruit - but rather a seed.
