Well: in virtue of marrying, he is no longer the Golden Bachelor, the Golden Bachelor no longer exists!<BR/><BR/>I took Sanna to be making a similar point wrt Mars: if the object that actually is Mars cease to fall under 'is a planet,' it would thereby cease to be Mars.<BR/><BR/>(One consequence would be, of course, if one grants the de re claim, that Mars is only contingently Mars.
