  We use results by Kirilin to show that in general relativity the nonleading
terms in the energy-momentum tensor of a particle depends on the
parameterization of the gravitational field. While the classical metric that is
calculated from this source, used to define the leading long-distance
corrections to the metric, also has a parameteriztion dependence, it can be
removed by a coordinate change. Thus the classical observables are
parameterization independent. The quantum effects that emerge within the same
calculation of the metric also depend on the parameterization and a full
quantum calculation requires the inclusion of further diagrams. However, within
a given parameterization the quantum effects calculated by us in a previous
paper are well defined. Flaws of Kirilin's proposed alternate metric definition
are described and we explain why the diagrams that we calculated are the
appropriate ones.
