Thanks for correcting me! The open/closed element becomes pretty crucial later on though, when he claims on page 225 that: a general approach for evaluating polynomials with interval arguments > without any information loss is presented here for the first time. > Two pages later he gives the general scheme for it (see attached picture - it was too much of a pain to extract that text with proper formatting.
