You are right, I meant the vote. But come to think of it, unless the meeting was scheduled 160 years in anticipation, we cannot say that in the Neptuneless Universe everything would have worked the same.

The main consecuence of there not being a Neptune would be no "clearing of the orbital neighbourhood" (nice wording, I am beginning to like it ) of Neptune

So I think the Kuiper Belt could be nearer to us. Also there would have been a different history for every object in it, specially for the ones which in our "real universe" are resonant with our Neptune. That includes Pluto.

So the answer for Ken G is "if there never was a Neptune, then there never would have been a Pluto". At least not the Pluto we know.

Would there be an IAU? I wonder
