This is a direct Planet X question, regarding the ongoing coverup.
Pluto's moon was, in the beginning, confused with Pluto or confusing the
viewing as I recall, being as large as it is re Pluto's size.  So if
this guy is theorized to be as BIG as Pluto's moon, why would it have an
albedo so much LESS than Pluto? An honest question, to which David
responds:

Somebody wants an ALTERNATE EXPLANATION for Planet X sightings.

David, you did not EXPLAIN why the albedo is only 7%, when it is as
large as Charon and out at a distance of Pluto.  "It is what it is" says he,
"we'll dole out the explanations as we see fit when we see fit and
you're not to question!"
