If you assume that the Equivalence Priniple is still valid, the two masses are one and the same, and you are left with a contradiction in your reasoning.
The only way out for you is a violation of the Equivalence Principle, which is disproven by observations.
But the Equivalence Principle is anyway unrelated to the actual value of G.
Are you saying (Gm) = m, or not ? :-) ...Show me.
Where did you get this?
Did you actually read my post, or are you just trying to evade the point?
