I don't like that formulation at all. You must
instead be talking about different objects. A
mutable object cannot be changed to a constant,
AFAIK.
I think the gotcha we're talking about is thinking
that a particular object is mutable when it's not.

How so? What's an example?

I don't think it even makes any sense to say that
something can become something else _because you
should not do XYZ_. That parses - is grammatical,
but it makes no sense.
