Those who remember that remarkable situatiuon when feebleminded
observational astronomers suddenly decided to 'define' a planet and
suffered the indignity of having a planet removed by the dynamicists
who care nothing about astronomy except as a background for their wild
and exotic guesswork for celestial structure and evolution.When they
eventually came up with a 'definition' it looks like it was an
exercise in ridicule.
