I should have been more precise. The catalyst was not new information about Pluto. Our understanding of Pluto has certainly deepened over the decades, but it was the discovery of other orbiting bodies that led scientists to reevaluate the definition of "planet."
When you're a toddler, your parents are tall. Certainly a whole lot taller than you are. Then, as you grow and meet more adults, you may come to realize that your parents aren't so tall after all. Your parents haven't changed, and you haven't learned anything new about their height. You're just evaluating their height in a broader context.
>>“Academics aren’t unanimous on the definition of terms. Film at 11”.
Well that’s one lesson I was referring to...although, I’m not so certain “academics” played 100% into the decision making process.
I'm reasonably certain George Soros had nothing to do with it.
>>>“There are no keys. Science isn’t locked”.
Exactly, so when do you think liberals will begin to grasp such an astute observation...what with the global warming “debate is over” and “settled evolutionary science” we hear from algore and Chrissy Fit Matthews and the closet FR liberals ad nauseum?????
Al Gore and Chris Matthews aren't scientists. They don't make any new discoveries or publish in any peer-reviewed journals. Their contributions to science are on a par with, well, frankly, yours. Or mine, for that matter.
Yes. And yes. Not entirely why there's so much scientific disagreement to this day, but that's accurate.

And if you're really keen you understand their height HAS changed...and you have learned something new about their height after all; in fact both my parents have shrunk. I've even come to understand why, with 3 science in nursing degrees.
Not so sure about George Soros. Liberals like George Soros think they're God...so I wouldn't be too fast to exclaim he didn't have something to do with hanging Pluto in the sky himself...per George Soros.
Al Gore and Chris Matthews aren't scientists.
Wow! Now if only ALL liberals could come to understand this! (Not just algore and the hissy fit, not that THAT'S about to stop either of them...
They don't make any new discoveries or publish in any peer-reviewed journals.
Uh-huh...but that's hardly relevant to their destructive force on science.
Their contributions to science are on a par with, well, frankly, yours. Or mine, for that matter.
Actually, I'm going in now since it's stopped raining, to apply my scientific skills to a hospice patient, so speak for yourself.
Meanwhile algore will no doubt continue on his carbon quest that separates people from their bank accounts so that he can buy more jet fuel to lecture liberals about science and how settled it is and so forth...
Liberals hijack science just like they hijack everything else they touch.
Why people think evolution is some kind of exception is rather curious to me.
