Are pickles baby cucumbers, or are cucumbers baby pickles?

As Charles Babbage once said, "I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."


The debate goes like this:

1) pickles are made from premature cucumbers, thus, pickles are baby cucumbers.

2) cucumbers BECOME pickles, thus, a cucumber is a baby pickle.

Argument 2 is a playful chronology, where argument 1 is literal.
