While we do not account for observational completeness as a function of $\mstar$ in computing quiescent fractions, in selecting satellites in ELVIS, we only use those out to the maximum distance that they are observed from the MW or M31 in \emph{each} $\mstar$ bin.  This matters most for our highest mass bin of $\mstar=10^{8-9}$, at which all 3 known satellites are within $N\kpc$ of the MW/M31, because those satellites closest to their host fell in earlier \citep{Wetzel2015}.  Figure~\ref{quench_time} Figure~\ref{quench_times}  shows... The timescale from \citet{Wheeler2014} is based on combining the the galaxy catalog from \citet{Geha2012} with satellite virial-infall times in the Millennium II simulation.  In particular, \citet{Wheeler2014} used a subset of satellites from \citet{Geha2012} at $8.25 < log(\mstar/\msun) < 8.75$ and $9.25 < log(\mstar/\msun) < 9.65$.
