 We have $\psi(r) = 0$ since $\psi$ is zero on $(\ge 1)$-simplices.
  
 Second, $\phi\circ\psi$ is the identity up to homotopy by another argument based on the method of acyclic models.
-To each generator $(b, \ol{K})$ of $G_*$ we associate the acyclic subcomplex $D(b)$ defined above.
+To each generator $(b, \ol{K})$ of $\cl{\cC_F}(Y)$ we associate the acyclic subcomplex $D(b)$ defined above.
 Both the identity map and $\phi\circ\psi$ are compatible with this
 collection of acyclic subcomplexes, so by the usual method of acyclic models argument these two maps
 are homotopic.
