no. I really wish non scientists would stay out of details like what is actual medicine or classification of astronimical objects.
I'm no scientist, but it's a pretty obvious no if you understand the reason it's no longer considered a planet.
oh yeah and me to but I have been technically a scientist at times. Still many people can understand it but some I don't think even want to. They want to hand wave it away and go with their feelings about what should be a planet.
Didn't china now have a law where any chucklefuck without a degree can't talk about science or medicine on social media to curb dipshit takes?
not sure im willing to go that far but boy is it annoying.
