With that statement, I have to completely agree with Wurstgote. If the effect of the instruction at 578911 is to move the value 62A43C into EAX, what difference does it make whether it gets that value from [40781E] or from a DWORD constant? Meaning, EAX = 62A43C is always EAX = 62A43C, regardless of how 62A43C is obtained.

The instructions following 578911 certainly don't know the difference.. They only know that EAX has the value 62A43C, and that's all they care about.

Maybe this will solve some of the confusion: what is the value at [40781E] on your dump? Meaning, after executing the instruction MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[40781E], what value does EAX hold on your dump?
