Yes, exactly.
Until I went to rabbinical seminary I didn't understand this either. It's
complicated and technical.

Most people think the Passover rules are something to do either with yeast or
with fermentation. It's not exactly so -- it has to do with grain coming into
contact with water, a situation that leaves the *possibility* of fermentation.
But this only applies to grain, not fruit.
