Why all but one, rather than simply all?

Yes, that occurred to me too.

Either a problem or an additional conclusion, depending on what you believe: The other poles picked their co-believer as the most credible too. Both individualists and hierarchicalists did so, and we seem to be running with the assumption that it generalizes well beyond that. All but one pole must be wrong.

You can conclude that all but one are systematically deluded, and I'm not dismissing that possibility.
