As with everything else, the "galactic plane" (GP) isn't a line formed by viewing the edge of a surface. It's a zone which has a width due to something called uncertainty. Even if we knew precisely where all the matter in the Milky Way was and each particle's velocity, the GP would still be a zone due to influences from the Magellenic clouds, M31, et al, and other factors.

whether it's the plane or the plane-zone or whatever-something
it sounds darn-damn'-dangerous and that's what it is....surrrley
