I'll take the other position in this argument:

Sometimes, tradition is necessary in a field dictated by laws, classification, and analysis. From its discovery in 1930 to its declassification in 2006, Pluto was considered a planet. It was a part of the Original 9, a staple of astrologic knowledge for millions upon millions of kindergarteners. In order to prevent our civilization from almost certain collapse, we must reinstate Pluto's Planetary Status. Thank you.

But, all future "discoveries" must be judged by the proper criteria.
