		For Al Burstein, (former) chair of the UTK University Studies Program and a primary supporter of the project, the centaur underscores a key heuristic issue; that the experience of having a deeply held belief disconfirmed (as in the hoax dehoaxed) is critical to self-conscience epistemology and thus the educational process.
		In addition, the centaur could become the basis for fraternal rites of passage, a central motif in homecoming parades and the inspiration for a catalogue on the mytho-poetics of science.

		Pholus, which orbits from Saturn to past Neptune, is a member of a subgroup known as red centaurs, remarkable for their surface coloration, which is believed to be due to a coating of organic materials.
