It was a planet before there was an actual definition of what a planet was.
Once they finally decided to define what a planet was, Pluto didn't fit the bill.
There are actually bigger rocks in the asteroid belt than pluto, and would fit the bill of being a planet moreso than what pluto does.
So do you change the criteria to fit pluto in......and let in potentially hundreds more? Or do you downgrade Pluto to a 'dwarf planet' so all those plutonites can still feel warm and fuzzy.
As an aside....what is a continent?
I'm sure you know all of the continents, but what is the definition of one? Is there an actual scientific definition of one?
