    The expression referenced is actually “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch”. So by that adage, they are actually admitting that they are all bad.

    On edit: “One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch” isn’t a saying. It’s a line from a 1970s song by the Osmond Brothers. Take from that what you will.

      And the adage is meant to explain why a single bad apple should not be tolerated. You must excise and discard the bad apples to protect the rest. Protecting and nurturing the bad apple spoils the rest.
