The tedium of the repetitive nature of this topic is getting to me.

I would clarify the above in that examination of the fruitarian role models
finds that they are either 1) non-strict (not 100% raw, non-vegan, etc.),
2) on the diet short-term, or 3) fakes/cheaters etc. The point is
that STRICT, long-term success stories that are credible are very
rare indeed. On the other hand, if you are looking for fakes who
claim to vigorously exercise and sustain themselves on (only) 4-6 apples
a day, or cheats selling as theirs, a book written by someone else,
you will not have to look far on the list of fruitarian "experts".
