Who is "we"? And don't get all hung up on my use of the English word 
"point", I am not implying an equivalence with C pointers here. In fact 
I am making use of the very meaning that you trot out below, that a 
variable is a storage location.

You are entirely missing my argument. I know there's an English word 
"mutable", and I know what it means. My argument is that it would be 
seriously helpful if it were not used for *changing the value* of a 
variable.

Right. Now step back from trotting out JLS quotes and interpret them, 
and also *hear* what I am trying to say. Anyone can quote anything, 
doesn't mean they are understanding anything.
