Sorry - but you are wrong. Eggplant, e.g. aubergine, is a fruit.

The fruits of the cashew, almond, and pistachio plants are not true nuts, but are rather classified as “drupes.” Drupes are fruit.
Fruit develops from a fertilized ovary after a plant flowers, as do ALL FRUITS.
VEGETABLES are parts of the plant itself and fertilization is unnecessary. They come from:
ROOTS - carrots, radishes, beets.
TUBERS - potatoes, taro, yams, ginger.
STEMS - celery, green onions, rhubarb.
LEAVES - lettuce, cabbage, spinach, kale, chard.
FLOWERS - broccoli, cauliflower, capers, artichoke.

You are correct about aubergine being fruit.
