No, I'm not using the word "may" in the speculative sense. I'm using it in the sense that planet A has a chance to be massive enough to trap such gaseous clouds, while planet B does not. If I'd said "may possibly" then you would have a point and I would concede that. Interesting how that was the only substantive objection you had to that entire paragraph.
As for the assertion that I got my information from some scientific website, I ought to put that to Mr Franks, my senior school Astronomy teacher. Even at the age of 86, I'm sure he'd feel inclined to slap you daft(er) for such an insult. I may verify my information using current scientific knowledge, sure; I happen to care whether what I learn is accurate.
I'll close by reiterating what I said elsewhere: there's nothing random and accidental about the god-damn laws of physics!

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
