quoted from AP article
Among the scientists who torpedoed "pluton" were geologists, who pointed
out somewhat embarrassingly to astronomers that it's already a prominent
term in volcano science for deep igneous rock formations.

"What were they thinking? The reaction in the geologic community was
rolling of eyes," said Allen F. Glazner, a geologist at the University of
North Carolina. "It would be like botanists trying to distinguish between
trees and shrubs and coming up with the term 'animal.'"

So which is IAU, tastes great or less filling?
