That's actually the issue. The problem is that there are dozens of similar sized objects a bit further out that we've been finding lately. Do we call them all planets too?
I stopped reading Popular Mechanics and Popular Science after they published that horseshit 911 (it was in PM). Turns out I wasn't the only one. I had to wait on hold for like 30 mins and even with the "you've already paid for it" I told them I didn't want that fucking yellow journalism trash in my mailbox and to stop sending it.
At the time they were peddling that "rhodes car" and selling instruction kits for cable descramblers and that was the "science journal of choice" to publish that horseshit?

It's not a planet, if it's renting space.
If Pluto is a planet, then so is Eris and Ceres.
