This one foul is penalized from the spot of the foul."
This discussion started referencing a player (presumed to be an opponent/defensive player) tackling by the facemask. The concept of, "All-But-One" applies EXCLUSIVELY to Offensive fouls

You have just posted the definition of all-but-one. The "ALL" is EVERY OTHER FOUL, both offense and defense.
The "BUT ONE" refers to offensive fouls behind the basic spot.
