I am absolutely amazed by how many people have such a strong sentimental attachment to Pluto. Forget about the clearing orbit requirement, even though this article puts up very fallacious arguments, and instead considered that Pluto is smaller than Mercury. Pluto is smaller than our moon. Pluto is not even as wide as Asia. Pluto and Charon orbit a point outside Pluto's surface.

Oh, and then there's the thousands of Kupier Belt objects larger than Pluto.

Be true to something so Frozen, and let it go.
