So you're saying things just exist, and as humans we categorize them? Because that's what I said.

The idea of a "category" is inherently human. Just like "objective" and "criteria".

Which means there is objective criteria for what is categorised as a planet - it's whatever we, humans, define them to be.

Not objective in the sense that aliens would come to the same definition for what is and isn't a planet. Compare that to something like what the elements are.
