Lloyd,

I do find it to be absolutely necessary to challenge the idea of planets and stars being mutually exclusive.

There is no definition for exo-planet. The establishment is literally finding their defined objects that have no definition! That is the biggest no-no in all scientific method!

"The official definition of "planet" used by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) only covers the Solar System and thus does not apply to exoplanets".

The reason why they can't make a definition is because all their mathematical models and astronomy sciences themselves are all wrong concerning star evolution. They don't realize star evolution is planet formation itself.

So in regards to you thinking that it is "unimportant", I counter that with it's the MOST important concept we must challenge. Humanity cannot build 21st century science off shaky foundation, and when you don't have a definition for the largest most abundant objects in the universe, exo-planets, then we will forever be full of ad hocs and fantasy.
