[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 77584842, member: 234799"] 1. Your objection to the vote lies in the outcome of the vote, not in the way it was conducted. If the vote had been for Pluto remaining a planet a deep silence would have emanated from your corner. That's why I describe your reaction as petulant. 2. I specifically gave two possible explanations (either/or) for your approach. I made no conclusion either way. And, of course, there may be other possible explanations. Moreover, while you may never have called it that you have repeatedly cited the vote as a "bad thing". As far as I know "bad things" in a context like this are generally considered to be weaknesses. 3. I don't think the solution was an ideal one. A more nuanced, yet more quantitative solution would have been better. It can always be revisted - and will be. In the meantime the inconsistencies present in the current defintions can inform discussions and even inspire particular directions of research. 4. I see you chose not to address the elephant in the room - you don't understand, or certainly do not acknowledge, the functions of classification systems. Those functions remove the ground from under your objections. [/QUOTE]
