  A detailed, quantitative re-examination of the effect of hadron dynamics on
baryon decay, modeled in terms of Skyrme-field tunneling, indicates that any
hadronic suppression should be quite mild. This appears to be another
illustration of the `Cheshire-cat' phenomenon, that variation of the
apportionment between description of the nucleon as a bag of quarks and
description as a Skyrme field configuration has little influence on many
nucleon properties. Perhaps the largest remaining uncertainty in evaluating the
decay rate has to do with the overlap between a specified quark-antiquark
configuration and a final meson state.
