Why do you deflect instead of answering the question?
To accumulate its mass, an orbiting body must clear out its orbital region, as Stern specifically alluded but you now ignore. A body with a "dynamically dominant mass" is simply another way of saying that it has "cleared its neighboring planetesimals". Do you agree or disagree with that?
If you disagree, can you please describe a scenario in which an orbiting body can achieve a dynamically dominant mass without clearing its neighboring planetesimals?

Let's debate the issues on the merits of the issues, rathering than trying to discredit someone else's opinion by crying hypocrisy.

I am not crying 'hypocrisy'. I have used that in reference to Stern exactly one time, in the original post, in reference to his supporting of orbital dominance in 2002 but calling it a 'farce' in 2006. The way you make it sound, the title of this post is "ALAN STERN IS A HYPOCRITE!!!!!" and that its a charge I repeat in every post.
