Hole that goes nowhere?

Hey all!  I’ve not built a tele before but am now and I’m curious about a hole drilled in the neck pickup (humbucker) route in the bottom corner. It looks like it’s drilled for the wore to go to the control cavity, and there is a slot there as well which I assumed this hole went to. I can’t get the wire through more than about an inch though. I tried to shine a light in the cavity and it can’t be seen on the other side. Is it possible there was no hole drilled for the pickup wires?  I feel like I must be missing something obvious.
 
  What you’re  doing is like pushing a rope up hill.  Make a zip tie needle tool for your self.
 
Clip off the end.  Use a hot needle.  Make a hole in the end.

You can use tape to tie the floss to the wire.  Be gentle.

Many years of running network cable through walls and ceilings came in handy for this.  Guitar wiring is much more fun than network cabling.  Less messy and dirty, too :)
