Question: where does the term cherry picker come from

title: Cherry picking
text: The term is based on the perceived process of harvesting fruit , such as cherries . The picker would be expected to only select the ripest and healthiest fruits . An observer who only sees the selected fruit may thus wrongly conclude that most , or even all , of the tree 's fruit is in a likewise good condition . This can also give a false impression of the quality of the fruit ( since it is only a sample and is not a representative sample ) .
