[Telepathic Intruder]

"It’s clear from the article that they are admitting they screwed the pooch back in 2006."

No, they didn't. They made the right decision to anyone who actually knows something of astronomy. They are the experts, most are not. Certainly not the ones saying Pluto should be in the same category as Jupiter.

"They use Jupiter as an example, not Pluto."

They're saying that even Jupiter shares its orbit with other objects. But so does every planet if you consider meteors. Earth is hit by hundreds of them every day. But does any planet share its orbit with any similar-sized objects? No. Pluto is part of a debris belt called the Kuiper Belt, similar to the asteroid belt. It contains lots of other objects even larger than Pluto. Pluto is in a separate class. It's also much smaller than the moon. It should have never been made a planet in the first place because at the time no one knew anything about it. Scientists were too eager to gain fame by claiming discovery of another "planet".

And that’s why they screwed the pooch. The 2006 redefinition was done in the middle of the night by astronomers, not planetary scientists.
