I was just praising you, I mean you can learn or show more about a variety by cutting it horizontally and not vertically. Cutting vertically falsely makes it look more meaty. I say falsely because it's a phony way to make it look meaty and it could just mean it was cut between locules/seed pockets, and we'd never know how many locules it ever had--it could be a watery, seedy tomato behind that wall! Cutting horizontally (equatorially?) doesn't hide anything. Heart shaped fruits are obvious from the outside, there's no need to cut them vertically to show they are hearts.
