One more place where I think I overestimated (maybe) errors due to
colors: I haven't been putting in the correlation between the color and
the peak magnitude. This can be important, esp. with the HST
supernovae, where the color errors may have a significant contribution
from the zeropoint. I don't know how much it will effect it, but it
might, so I ought to put those correlated errors in.
Worse, this is another correlation between the supernovae, but figuring
out how to cleanly deal with this is going to be really rather
complicated.... Ignoring the correlation between supernovae probably
isn't a good idea, though, because esp. with the HST supernovae, these
correlations might be significant.
