the definition would be quite simple: “A planet is a sub-stellar mass body that has never undergone nuclear fusion and that has sufficient self-gravitation to assume a spheroidal shape adequately described by a triaxial ellipsoid regardless ...
From there, everything went as any scientist would have predicted. Originally Mike Brown was put forward as the discover of the tenth planet (for, if Pluto was a planet, so too was the virtually identical Eris). He recognized the absurdity of that and quashed it like a bug. There would ...

For sure, physical properties of Pluto do not change if we call it a "planet", a "dwarf planet", a "candelabrum", or a "sea cow". Pluto stays the same Pluto regardless of all that. For physics or astronomy, naming does not really matter....
