Goldstone and longitudinal polarization equivalence between off-shell $W$s
If I understand correctly, the couplings of the longitudinal component of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons should be "equivalent" to the Goldstone bosons they ate after SSB.
In practice, this makes ...

Does Goldstone-boson absorption by $W$ and $Z$ bosons mean that their masses are stochastic?
I have heard it explained that a complex doublet scalar field produces the Higgs boson, and also three Goldstone bosons which are absorbed by $W$ and $Z$ bosons, giving them mass.
Does this mean that ...
