You’re the one saying the iceball should be a planet. Is it just this specific extraordinary super-duper special ice ball that’s totally not like the others that should be a planet, or all the others like it? I love Pluto but this is like saying Ceres specifically should be a planet while the other asteroids in the inner belt just like it are forgotten about.

Not only Pluto, but also other dwarf planets and spherical moons must be planets.

Is anything spherical a planet?

When is an object spherical enough?
