The all-but-one principle applies to all fouls...it is only the "but one" part that applies just to the offense.

I'm sorry to be picky about this, but it seems like more and more officials seem to have this incorrect "view" of all-but-one (the view that it applies only to offensive fouls).
Mea culpa - I don't think you're being picky at all.

How about I re-word this to say that the "but one" part of all-but-one only applies to offensive fouls - particularly, fouls committed by the offense behind the basic spot?
