The mass of the inert matter in Supernova X perhaps had been too conservatively estimated. Thank you for highlighting this as estimates will be up-adjusted in compensation.
 
[ooc]For those interested: Its the mass limit for a stable white dwarf star to form; a greater mass than this estimated limit leads to it starting to collapse back in on itself, though the mass ultimately determines the stars fate (neutron star, or neutron star forming to a black hole) as you alluded to.  For black holes this has been around 2-3 solar masses of white dwarf size.[/ooc]
