He has a point. Mercer isn't technically healing, he's just creating more mass to replace what he lost. Healing would imply he's restoring the damaged mass.

Put another way- say you lay 3 sticks against one another to form a tent. One breaks.

You can replace the broken stick with another stick. (Mercer)

Or you can fix the broken stick so it works again. (Wolverine)
