Is an SUV a car or a trunk?
But you're not going with the best experts.I was right to go along with the best experts on a matter like this where I have no special knowledge myself.
It was a rigged vote, as most of the "best experts" were locked out.laurele said:Only four percent of the IAU voted on the controversial demotion of Pluto, and most are not planetary scientists.
I think that most things supported by science are done on a minority vote by people who choose the "righter" answer.But you're not going with the best experts.
From another thread:It was a rigged vote, as most of the "best experts" were locked out.
Even legitimate majority votes aren't a guarantee the right vote was made.I think that most things supported by science are done on a minority vote by people who choose the "righter" answer.
But I had a stumpy little friend in college I would never have met except for Thalidomide.Even legitimate majority votes aren't a guarantee the right vote was made.
That's what gave us the Challenger, the Deepwater Horizon, L'Aquila, and Thalidomide.
To name a few.

You don't think seismologists voted as to whether it was safe for people to return to their homes in L'Aquila?Thalidomide is literally the only one that I would agree with on that.
Provide evidence or it's bogus.Warden_of_the_Storm said:The other's you need to provide evidence for otherwise they're exactly like your "Science calls miracles magic!" claim: Bogus.
You don't think seismologists voted as to whether it was safe for people to return to their homes in L'Aquila?
The Challenger's administration took a vote on whether to proceed with the liftoff or not.
Provide evidence or it's bogus.
Wow.
That's a dangerous mindset.
Would you ignore a DANGER: MINE FIELD sign?
It was a rigged vote, as most of the "best experts" were locked out.
QV please:Do you have a source that supports your claim that most of the experts were deliberately prevented from voting?
Because you are making it sound like they wanted to vote, but they were told they couldn't.
Ten years later, IAU Pluto vote remains controversialQV please:
"Only four percent of the IAU voted on the controversial demotion of Pluto, and most are not planetary scientists. The vote was conducted in violation of the IAU's own bylaws on the last day of a two-week conference when most attendees already had left. No absentee voting was allowed. Supporters of the demotion resolution violated the IAU's own bylaws by putting this resolution on the General Assembly floor without first vetting it by the proper committee as IAU rules require. Also, many planetary scientists do not belong to the IAU and therefore had no say in this matter. When professional astronomers objecting to the demotion asked for a reopening of the planet debate at the 2009 IAU General Assembly, the IAU leadership adamantly refused."

That does not prove that there was someone who was all, "I need to get Pluto removed from the list of planets, but how to do it? Ah! I have the perfect plan!" *evil cackling*
How mature.That does not prove that there was someone who was all, "I need to get Pluto removed from the list of planets, but how to do it? Ah! I have the perfect plan!" *evil cackling*
Usually it is the past-prime that are characterized by *evil cackling* rather than pre-teens.How mature.
Negative.So AV, were YOU wrong about Pluto?
Negative.
I'm not alone, am I?It does seem that he is making a lot of fuss about a celestial object ...
Either that, or I believe Pluto is as old as God made it, but it has only been in existence for about 6000 years.Ophiolite said:... he believes to be only about 6,000 years old.
