it's fine to place arbitrary separations in a spectrum as long as we are aware it's a spectrum.

but it's also annoying that "dwarf" implies smaller, and as I said before, we could have gas giants that could be classified as a dwarf planets.

and without a doubt there are exoplanets that are gas giants but also dwarf.

which is just plain stupid.
