Review the derivation/history of the word Planet.
Whatever the government funded welfare professors want to describe needs a new moniker. Planet has too much baggage to try to coopt. Be creative and generate a new term. Otherwise they are wasting valuable resources and not advancing Science.
I know the history. The original word for ‘planet’ is a star that wanders, and does not include the Earth. But we also thought that the Earth was the center of the universe as well. But we’ve advanced somewhat since then, and so has the term for a planet. I don’t want to go back a thousand years.
