No, the flavor-change idea was inspired by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix...

Oh, for Pete's sake, not the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix again. Always with the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix...are you referring to the 3x3 unitary matrix V operating on the charge -e/3 quark mass eigenstates (d, s, and b), that Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix?

I have no idea what any of this means but it sounds like some serious sh*t...

Aye, the same. And et'll swink on muckle a u, c, and t quark as weel, to spite ye.

See, now Axenolith's got me talking in Brogue...

I would be interested in your views on the correlation between the 'eigenstates' and the 'quark mixing matrix'.

Are you an afficionado of the Standard C-K-M Model?

It's always good to get another opinion. ;^)

My co-worker, in the cubicle next to mine, hit a neutrino yesterday going home from work. Oh, man, was a mess. She had to report the accident to the DNR, and they had to come out and put the neutrino down...

Yeah, that one's so yesterday.
Everybody knows that James T. Kirk was the only one to ever solve that problem.
