Default Source of Unbound "Nomad" Planets: Stellar "Ionization"?

In article , "Robert L.
Oldershaw" writes:

Note also that auto-ionization as the main source of free-floating
planets goes against your idea that most (all?) planets are not formed
together with stars.

Can you detect the logical flaw in the above argument?

Hint: It appears that you assume that the pre-ionization system was
did not involve any form of capture at any point in its past history.


It is YOUR assumption, that the initial formation was due to capture,
but hardly the assumption of the authors of the paper you quote. YOU
assume that ionization somehow implies that formation was via capture.

It is not easy to break free of old paradigms. They are deeply
ingrained in our thinking.


Indeed, which is why we continue to try to help you break free of the
DSR paradigm.
