Yup. And due to the manufacture process, all the earth requirements go through one point - it's easier to make the harness that way.

It'a real eye-opener when you strip a loom for racing to see the crazy route some of the earth wires take, just so they can get to the one earth stud.

You could do worse than fitting an extra earth just to be sure...
