Section 4.6.1 says:

   assert_metric
   my_assert_metric(S,G,I) {
     if (CouldAssert(S,G,I) == TRUE) {
       return spt_assert_metric(S,G,I)
     } else {
       return infinite_assert_metric()
     }
   }

It should say:

   assert_metric
   my_assert_metric(S,G,I) {
     if (CouldAssert(S,G,I) == TRUE) {
       return spt_assert_metric(S,I)
     } else {
       return infinite_assert_metric()
     }
   }

Notes:

In Section 4.6.1, spt_assert_metric(S,I) is defined to have two
parameters, not three.
