    I don’t see the argument you’re making. Science across all disciplines is complex. The more a person attempts to understand and define an object or a phenomenon it opens more doors to more questions about it’s nature. Classification is inherent to our human minds understanding the world around us.

      Oh no argument here with that point at all, that’s a fine perspective and observation. Classification is necessary, but nuance and patience when dealing with the gray areas between are too.

      My initial point was just poking fun at the mess poor astronomers have to deal with. It being one of the oldest natural sciences and all it has a bigger mess than most.
