Interesting prediction! -- any guess at this point what term might/should be adopted in the future for planets of the current "dwarf" type? Anyway, a curious conclusion of this dialogue is that I'm not sure if I'd count as a "pro-planet" person or not. My position in a nutshell: "Of course, Pluto or Ceres is a planet -- the question is, which kind?" If the debate had been cast in those terms, I wonder if it might have been less emotional and possibly more enlightening for the public.
