Oh, and another little tidbit...

NI is why bias frames are used. Taking a dark frame with as short an exposure as possible captures a snapshot of this noise by minimizing ND.

ND is why dark frames are used and why you take darks with the same exposure time as lights (keeping the temperature the same is done to keep thermal noise at the same level).
