Comment on Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars?

For the same reason that a little fire and big fire are both fires but a small rock is a pebble while a big rock is a boulder. Fire is more about what something is doing while rocks are more about what they are.

I kind of agree - though I’d say they are both about what they’re “doing”, as the small rock can’t do what the big rock can (clear its celestial neighborhood).
