Sure.  What would *you* call it?  Where do *you* think the mass goes?

The purpose of providing a reference is to allow the reader to find details
that you have omitted for brevity or clarity.  References are not generally
provided, as you seem to think, merely to look professional.  In and of 
themselves, they provide no authentication of a claim.  You are welcome
to explain to us, if you care, what Bondi had to say.  If not, then how
are we supposed to proceed with this discussion?
