I see the point being that govt funded perfessers are hell bent on redefining the term “Planet”. It seems like a lame operation to generate papers to use to milk the NSF, et. al. for funding instead of doing legitimate work.

Graduate students are not being well trained/well served by such unscientific actions.

And I see the point as only more clearly defining terms so that astronomy remains a true field of science instead of a pseudo-religion ruled by unpredictable individual sentiment and emotionalism.
