S&G: Instruction manual contradicts itself...i think

Building my first S&G. It's a Pygmy Osprey Std. Just finished butt-joining the pieces. The manual states that All edges of the planks will be drilled for wires except the sheer seam. Okay, that makes sense...but in the illustration, panel #4 & 5 are shown with zero holes drilled in it. And later the manual states, "you will drill holes on both edges of the #1 panels, upper edges of #2 &3, and both edges of # 6." No mention of any holes on 4 or 5. The obvious answer to me seems to be that you would drill holes on all the edges except for the sheer seam. I just don't want to make any assumptions seeing as this is my first build, and I could be missing something. Could someone please weigh on this and tell me if I'm being a dumba** or if the instructions are contradicting themselves. Thanks again
