“should not exist according to planet formation theory” It does exist, and so a true scientist would say: “planet formation theory is wrong, and we need to revise it”
When equations do not correctly represent reality they are faulty, and must be discarded.
That's the way science used to work, before it became institutionalized, bureaucratic, dogmatic, and driven by government funding.
Now we have 'consensus' science, which is more akin to a religious cult, locked into a fixed system of invioable beliefs.
We'll never make it to the stars with such a system in place.
