    The answer here is yes, assuming that he is generating K-corrections
    properly with consistent parameters. The software that makes the
    template is based on the same libraries as the software that generates
    the K-corrections. If it weren't, it should show up when the errors
    *aren't* randomized.

    The fitted day of max should be (I believe) 50,000 in the simulations,
    if you wish to compare.
