Obviously, I could be wrong, but I think WM means map it on a line of

You mean map the diagonal (or the range of the diagonal, or whatever)
onto one of the finite sequences that is in the range of the infinite
sequence of those finite sequences? I.e., map the diagonal onto a
member of the range of S? A 1-1 map? If so, yes, I would share your
bafflement as to why we should think there is such a mapping or what
contradiction there is in there not being such a mapping.
