But, won't a parameter declared as (e.g.) "rate constant for
first-order mass action" remain the same no matter if the
kinetic law itself is changed? Or (e.g.) "Michaelis
constant"?

I thought of this when I was writing my other message, but
decided it seemed like the meanings of the quantities and
other elements of a model would stay the same despite that a
change in a formula may change how they are *used*. This
assumption may be incorrect. I'd like to see a case example
if so.
