I mean I'm fascinated by space and always have been, but I just can't bring myself to care about whether a large ball of ice on the outer edges of our solar system is considered a planet or a dwarf.

If you've dedicated your adult life to its study and are involved in the scientific community like Dr. Stern, I can see why it may be a big deal to you, but to the general public, yeah, it's not really that important. Most of the "protesting" outside scientific circles seems to mostly be half in jest, anyway.
