Form I-864 Part 5, Part 6

Me : H1B, employed
Wife : USC, unemployed

Part 5 explicitly states to not double count.
Thus I have a "1" entered under section "Persons you are sponsoring..."
Leading to a total of "2" in item 8 of Part 5

Here's the confusion
1)
Form 864 instructions say to put the sponsor's income on Item number 6c. of Part 6
So fine, I will put "0" in 6c, and I will write in my wife's name in 6a.
Since we are using my income, I will fill out item numbers 7a-c. but item 12 says that persons in lines 6a....7a....is the intending immigrant.........
This leads me to question if I correctly filled out 6a-c by putting in my wife's name

2)In the instructions under Annual Income it says "if you included the income of the intending immigrant who is your spouse(he or she would be counted on Item Number 7 of Part 5"
But that's not possible, because I would double count myself.

Don't write her name in 6a. She is the one who fills out and signs the I-864, not you. Persons 1 to 4 (questions 6a to 9c) are other people including you. So write your own name in 6a.

The instructions are wrong.

Your wife is the sponsor. Your wife's information and income go in Part 6 #1 through #5. You (the immigrant) are the only other person in the household whose income is being counted. Your information and income go in Part 6 #6. Do NOT put anything in Part 6, #7 to #9.
