        Note that while you correctly point out that the Silverfish is a fish, its close relative the woodlouse is in fact a type of wood, and therefore part of the vegetable kingdom. Turns out ontologies are confusing and probably can be some of complete, consistent, coherent or correspond to common sense but not all of the above. Whenever these types of debates come up (eg "Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?" or indeed any "Is x a type of y?") I'm reminded of Borges[1].
