By the logic of 'humans said it was', we aren't really a planet either, are we? Humans just decided that we're a planet and that's what has stuck throughout centuries.

Now, I've got questions for you.

How do you know the earth is round? Can you verify this on your own? Do 2-D pictures from a satellite prove that the earth is more than a flat circle? Remember, you were told it was round so that is what you believe.

How do you know gravity exists? Because someone told you it does.

How do you know that a color is really that color? What if what you were told is Yellow is actually Blue? How would you know? You were only told that Yellow is Yellow so you believe it.

How do you know that a Cat is not truly a Dog? You don't. It's what you were told as a child so you hold on to that belief like an old woman clutches her purse on a train.

Everything you believe, everything you know as fact, could be nothing more than a lie. But you believe it because that's what you were told to do.

Just remember, someone told you you're safe in your room behind your computer screen and you believe it. Just know that Pluto is both watching and judging you. I'll have to disagree.. and so do these guys
