    A giant "dwarf" planet? So...just a regular-sized planet, then?

      With their current use of terminology a regular-sized planet would be a small medium at large.

    So, this is a final resolution to the Planet X mystery? The one which Batygin predicts?

      Doubt it, it's too small (even the upper end of the estimated size range has it smaller than Pluto). Batygin and Brown's predicted planet would have to be bigger than Earth.
