You got me fair and square. I do, in fact, have an engineering degree. I could prattle on about mass vs. weight until the cows come home. (Feel free to e-mail for my tirade about the absurdity of the concepts of lb-mass and slug!) but if you correct "mass" to "weight" my argument still stands.
To rephrase: In space the distrubution of mass doesn't matter at all. That is, it doesn't matter in our 4D space-time continuum. But what about subspace? Maybe within warp fields the laws of "gravitation" are altered such that distribution of energy matters more than distribution of mass.
