non-rotational mass affects the function linearly, while rotational mass lost affects the function non linearly. Second order if I recall correctly.
So if you drop 3units of non-rotational mass, it causes a change by a factor of 3. If you drop this same mass in regards to rotational weight, it was cause a change by a factor of 9.
One could easily call this a jillion.
Incredibly significant.
