″It then finds the point that is farthest from the line segment...″
In the pseudocode section this is interpreted to mean perpendicular distance from a point to a line. An alternative interpretation, one which i believe is correct, is shortest distance from a point to a line segment (see also [https://karthaus.nl/rdp/ this]). The later differs from the former if the projection of the point on the line does not lie between the two points defining the line.
