The danger of a "committee" coming up with something to define reality Carl.
If our discoveries over the past fifty years tells us anything it is that there is more out there than our human visualizations let us entertain.
It would seem more reasonable that there is still debris out there than not... and it must follow the laws that determine orbits and placement of objects wthin a common orbit will manage that debris so we can expect what we now find.
Very interesting material.
