It is better to open a banana upside down

First let me clarify, when I say efficiency, I mean the amount of banana eaten by the eater divided by the amount of banana that could be eaten by the eater. Defense: 1. The banana eating does lose efficiency when the brown part is plucked last! This is because when you throw out the bottom of the banana after consuming said banana you often throw out good edible banana along out with the brown part because it does not come off as well as if the banana is opened from the bottom. If the banana is opened from the bottom, this does not occur because none of the edible banana is left because the eater can easily pluck out the brown part. 2. I would like the opponent to post the sources they used to determine that monkeys open the banana differently, some quotes would be nice as well. But irregardless, for me it was difficult to tell in the last two videos but in the first one, where the monkey was "opening" from the side. It seems to me the monkey holds the side, bites the bottom and tears down. This may or may not be the case and I would not recommend biting the bottom to open it. Irregardless, monkeys may have different methods but that does not mean that one is not better than the other and since the fact remains that the vast majority of monkeys open the banana from the bottom, which my opponent has never refuted. I believe the majority of monkeys believe this is the superior way to open a banana. 3. In the first monkey video the fibers that come off the banana are attached to the peel and are removed from the fruit when the monkey completely removes the fruit from the peel. Fibers are an annoyance to a banana eater, and though again, I cannot find definitive statistics, I have never seen someone eat a banana, pulling from the top to the bottom, during which they have not then subsequently pulled down one or more fibers. The source I posted in Round 2 is the only information I could find comparing the amount of fibers when pulling down vs pulling up, and they ruled in favor of the pro. Rebuttals: 1. "I think most would agree that not a lot of thought process is put into the actual way the banana is opened, as long as it is easily attained" Though I agree with this, this is not what we are debating. There are certain ways of brushing your teeth that are better than others, just because we do not put a lot of thought into it does not mean there aren't better or worse ways. I disagree that using a tool would minimize the time in obtaining the banana because then the eater would be forced to get the tool, wash the tool, and put the tool away. Pinching the bottom of the banana takes about .2 seconds longer than using a tool without taking into account all the added time needed to use a tool, and its just as effective, if not more so. Also, using a tool would require some of the banana to reside on the tool, which would again decrease the efficiency of the banana, without even having removed the brown part. Opening from the side is not as good as opening from the bottom because it does require more force than the pinch it takes to open from the bottom, even if the force is minimal, it still makes the banana opening from the side harder than from the bottom. 2. The resolution is about the opening of the banana. It does not mention the fruit of the banana in anyway, and therefore my opponents second point is moot. 3. I am not proposing that the fingernails protrude beneath the bottom part. I am proposing the eater squeezes the bottom with their fingertips which thereby opens the banana. Thus, there is no chance the knob could protrude into the fingernails as they are not involved. 4. Although the banana is held nicely either way, I find it superior upside down probably because that's how I tend to eat them and I've gotten used to I, just a personal preference. Conclusion: I would like to thank my opponent for this intriguing debate. I do believe the pro has shown that opening the banana from the bottom is the superior way and therefore I urge you to vote Pro. Thank you
