40. This is different from (Formula presented) used by 48 whose luminosity function parameters we use to estimate the redshift distribution, but the median difference of extinction derived between the two is small (Formula presented)

48. Given that the galaxy distribution is nonlinear and non-Gaussian, the (Formula presented) fit is not the optimal bias estimator. However, the fact that the biases for different bins are so close implies that the error in bias, as we see below, is much smaller than the error in our cross-correlation signal and so is negligible.
49. A low (Formula presented) is to be expected if we overestimate the noise in the ISW signal. In particular, this could be the case if the CMB power is suppressed on large angles. This would increase the significance of an ISW detection at such scales. This effect is elaborated in 52.
