Hi Alex,
what I had in mind was quite simple (too simple to be interesting?).
If we were to assume that m_B(z) is significantely dimmed by
IG dust, then we can estimate what the same dust density distribution
would do to the CMAG Hubble diagram. As the dimming would affect the
two techniques somewhat differently (right?), if the fitted cosmologies
agree, we may be able to present yet another evidence against large
amounts of IG dust. So, if you are intersted to try some of this, I
could
generate Monte-Carlo lightcurves as in your data for you to check what
the
actual difference would be between m_B and B(B-V=0.6) as a function of
dust properties.
