You're right but he used an illustration with a rear mounted battery, so it would make sense to ground to the frame unless he wanted to run a ground cable back up to the engine. Then he'd have to ground the engine to the frame up front to complete the ground path. I seem to remember a thread with this drawing where the writer had two batteries, one in back and one in front.
