That is my understanding, given the way you are using the terms
reference
and "value". It could also be said that series values
are mutable, while other values are immutable.

To the contrary! You SHOULD "snoop around" and confirm for yourself
that you understand how things are behaving in REBOL! That's likely
the best way to learn, and to confirm that what you think you've
