That is how we know it in one G. Now, if (1G*m) = (5G*0.2m), for Jupiter's five times higher G, then it should read:
W" = 5(20 kg * 23 m/^2) = 2300 N for Jupiter, if you factor in the 5 G.
The way you see it, the 5 G doesn't exist anywhere, and if I did it your way, if I understand what you're saying, factoring in the 5 G, it would look like this:
W'" = 5(100 kg * 23.m^2) = 11,500 N , which is wrong.

But where is the mass going? In the above example, you've lost 80kgs of mass. Why and where??
