Once again, I say to you, science is not a democracy. Polling for answer is very much the wrong way to go about it.

If you know that an object is at 3000 degrees K, do you need to know anything else to know the intensity of its radiation?
 
Sorry about the polling, I promptly deleted it. I think that intensity of radiation does not depend on color?
