For what it's worth, I've always responded to questions such as "Is Pluto a planet?" in a manner more similar to Network 1 than Network 2. The debate strikes me as borderline nonsensical.
Analytically, I'd have to agree, but the first thing that I say when I get this question is no. I explain that it depends on definition, that have a definition for planet, and we know the characteristics of Pluto. Pluto doesn't match the requirements in the definition, ergo, not a planet.
Lots easier than trying to explain to someone they don't actually know what question they're asking, although it's of course a more elegant answer.
