So... it looks like the Solar System’s “primordial soup” needs a little more conceptual ordering than was so recently thought to be necessary.
On one hand, it is truly excellent and inspiring to see real scientists willing to “step outside” to risk asking for a controversial change; on the other hand, here was innocent little me thinking the multitude of *ordial systems to be complex enough already...
