It might help some of us if this was more clearly phrased. Parallax is a change in apparent position caused by a change in the observer's position. So "changing Moon parallax" means that "John changed the parallax of the moon by doing xyz" or perhaps it means "there are changes in the change of apparent position" which in turn is nearly meaningless gibberish. Surely I am not the only one to be lost by the inclarity of jargon here.
