New evidence points toward Ninth Planet in the solar system

[Gawdzilla]

That's a name, not a classification.  A name can contain any degree of tradition desired.  A classification should be useful first.

If any plutoids similar in size to Pluto qualifies as a planet, it reduces the usefulness of the planet classification, since Pluto is really a very minor body and probably quite average for a plutoids and there could well be hundred or even thousands plutoids not far smaller than Pluto.

I agree. I was talking about the name, not the classification. Just as the planet classified as Sol 3 is traditionally named Earth, despite being a carryover from primitive distinctions between earth, sky and water.

This is all my subjective opinion anyway. But fuck opinion, right? It's not like I carry any real weight.

Actually, it's "mass", not "weight".
