We use a simplified formalism to re-compute the single graviton loop contribution to the self-mass of a massless, conformally coupled scalar on de Sitter background which was originally made by Boran, Kahya and Park [1-3]. Our result resolves the problem with the flat space correspondence limit that was pointed out by Frob [4]. We discuss how this computation will be used in a long-term project to purge the linearized effective field equation of gauge dependence.
