BMP-1 Wiring Question; Does that look right to you? I Need Help

So I'm looking at this diagram, as I want to replace the EMGs loaded in my guitar now with a BMP-1, but this is confusing the Heck out of me! Like, the neck volume and tone are just floating if I'm looking at that right; They're not connect to the BMP-1 pot in any way. How the heck are they supposed to do anything if they're just suspended in mid-air, so to speak, like that? They're grounded at least, form the looks of it, but I can't see how'd they do anything, or how the toggle switch should do anything, if you trace those wires on the diagram. As soon as you toggle select to just the neck, the circuit's broken - at least that's how it looks to me.

I'm not crazy, right? That diagram's incorrect, right? And that's what's on the the SD website, and these things have been out for years, so I can't see how it's never been corrected. I've been looking at the 1-vol 2-tone, and 2-vol 1-tone diagrams trying to piece together how it SHOULD go, but I'm still feeling like I don't quite get exactly what I should do. It's been a good while since I've been on this forum, but I'm pretty sure I remember actual employees are on here monitoring, so hopefully they could chime in, and maybe get this corrected on their site too, if I'm not just losing my mind here.

Somebody help me, please. :-)

Thank you! I'm looking at that diagram and scratching my head. I was looking at other combinations, and at a pair of blackout humbuckers with 2vol and 2tone, and I think I have it figured out, but having a proper diagram from SD themselves would go a long way.
