Please provide a source for this proof. Such a proof is noticeably absent from your previous source and every other SN Ia paper that I have ever encountered. If you know of such a paper, why do you waste our time by providing sources without this argumentation. If you do not know of any such paper, why do you waste our time with these quite obvious falsehoods?

It is the theory that these type Ia explosions fall within a fairly narrow range of magnitudes that drives this conclusion.
This theory is supported by observation, not by astrophysical theory. Again, please provide the sources that supposedly support this position.
