When Peter did it, I believe he did it as a function of t rather than
t/(1-s). Is this right Peter?
My belief is that the differences will be smaller if you do
K-corrections as t/(1-s) rather than as t. (I think Serena came to the
same conclusion.)
As such, the 0.2 may be larger than even the "biggest reasonable case"
systematic uncertainty.
