Hi Anne:

Please remember that many scientists [not me :0)] have something to make up 
for their common sense ... their big EGOS. If you have any doubt about this, 
ask Nancy. 

It is the old "my theory is better (bigger) than your theory. There are lots 
of ways to "define" a planet (we have seen many of them over the past few 
days) and some are better than others and none of them is perfect. But, you 
must remember, from the perspective of many scientists, there is no question 
that their theory is better than anyone elses.


Larry
