Remark on the Higher Order Perturbative Studies of Flavor Breaking in the Standard SU(3) Skyrmion Quantum Mechanics

A quantitative criterion is proposed for testing the rationality of an effective QCD baryon theory. The higher order corrections of the standard SU(3) Skyrme model to the Gell-Mann-Okubo relations for baryons are studied according to the criterion, and some interesting results are presented. A possible prescription is recommended.
