Re: Pluto vote 'hijacked' in revolt

You can't make an accurate theory for one planet and ignore all the

for one of the planets, you have to account for several others of them,
sometimes all of them depending on what accuracy you want.

Perhaps, although my impression was that these dependencies are already
factored into each theory--that is, you don't *have* to compute Uranus's
position, for instance, in order to compute Saturn's. Is that not so?
