I don't have my book handy. I will look it up later. Maybe your copy came out before all approvals were done/made. Since your missing some of 603, although that is suppose to happen. They do from time to time, make changes and add sections.

He's pretty much on the ball with everything he post. And yes, I believe he is incorrect in this case. Of course, it could be that I am wrong.
