Δm² is problematic because upper bound for sterile neutrino mass is something like 10^13 TeV and lower bound is "not exactly zero". Plus keep in mind that I cut everything down to obtain a first-order approximation and then used it on a wide range of values like a dumbass. Agreed.Anyway, I dunno. One of the cruxes of my stance is trusting that the authors considered everything, which is a big scientific no-no.

Yes, I'm so sorry, I very stupidly assumed that sterile neutrinos had the typical ~0.1 eV mass like that of active neutrinos.
