bjoern_tantau comments on New dwarf planet spotted at the edge of the solar system

Ugh, didn't read the "dwarf" part and got my hopes up for planet 9. When they eventually do find it they have to name it something with P so that the old mnemonics still work.

I've heard that the sign of a fair bargain is that everybody leaves unhappy. So how about we name it "Pluto?" That should annoy pretty much everyone.

This study authors btw say that their models for 2017 OF201's orbit work best without the influence of a hypothetical planet 9
