I find some people try to root pineapple tops with flesh still on the stem - by letting it dry out or something. I've gotten 100% success by cutting the stem completely away from the fruit and pulling off bottom leaves until I have about an inch of white showing then just stick it in soil and keep the soil moderately moist. Works every time for me.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
