I remember my first grade teacher using the fruit of the loom example to explain to us kids what a cornucopia is when we got a thanksgiving coloring page that was just an empty cornucopia and none of us kids recognized what it was.

You don't though because the cornucopia was never part of the logo.

So your argument is that there was never a cornucopia in the logo, therefore the teacher did not use the logo as an example of a cornucopia. How did you eliminate the possibility that the teacher incorrectly believed that there was a cornucopia in the logo, like so many other people?
