I have no idea what wavelength band this magnitude was measured in (this could make all the difference). It almost looked like it could be in the J-band, which is NIR (no use to visual observers)

Surely these SN blokes know that when we measure magns of supernovae, we have to "compare apples with apples"
I concure with the statment above Robert
I have put a link to that site Here
