You can remove them if you replace them with an existentially
quantified variable, yes?

And you can remove an existentially quantified variable in an asserted
context by replacing it with a new term (that is, by skolemization),
right? 

In another context, like a negated context or a query, I agree
skolemization would be wrong.  I guess I should have been more explicit.
