I agree with ~mark and charghwI', but I think I may be able 
to clear up some of the misunderstanding that led to the conclusion
that I advocated a position of greater degree of change.

I do think the {-choHmoH} does imply a greater degree of
change than {-moH} alone.  The reason  being that anything
 is greater than nothing.  {-moH} in its general meaning 
does not indicate that there was and change occuring, while
{-choHmoH} clearly indicates that a change occured.

Based on this, the assersion that one implies a greater degree
of change than the other is a true, but useless statement.

Our positions are in agrement, but our semantic arguments differ.
