I think this is carrying my comments well beyond their original intent and (I hope) meaning. I was talking about the issue of mass change under different local situations, not some global situations like changing over very long periods of time, or possible variations at levels well below what we are able to detect with present instrumentation. If compelling evidence of such effects shows up, then so be it. I don't think that changes the particular thing I was walking about, which is how to interpret the mass change of a system when it goes to or from bound and unbound states.
It seems that the terminology "mass of neutron" must be so absolutely fixed according to some physicists or physics educators, that this could be a stumbling block to the Progress in Physics... Hopefully, Hugh, Jeffery and John D will agree..., one day.
