The simplest being we know very little about Uranus, mostly due to its incredible distance form Earth and because it's, well, frankly one of the more "boring" planets out there.

Hardly. What graduate student would apply for a grant to study Uranus?

...would reply in a job interview when asked what their thesis was on, "Uranus", and expect to get employment?

...would tell perspective girlfriends they were busy "studying Uranus"...

No wonder no one has touched that planet with a 10 foot pole...

Apparently, you've never been to Berkeley.
