This wiring diagram is confusing

Can someone tell me why on the neck and the bridge volume pots, the solder points that [b]don't[/b] have wires connected look like they're bent backwards? Looking at my Jazz control plate, they haven't been. Should they be? Also why hasn't the unused solder point on the tone control been bent? Am I being really dense here?

The ones that are bent back are soldered onto the pot casing i.e. earth/ground.

The tone control pot only uses 2 of the 3 terminals. It is used as a true variable resisot going from 0-ohms to 250k-ohms.

Edit: Ignore me, I'm a spazz. Mine are soldered like that, I've just never noticed before. That's my idiot quota used for this week.
