The "bad apple" metaphor is quite appropriate. One bad apple will release ethylene and cause the other apples to rot away. If you don't actively route out the bad apples, and dilleigently remove them from the bunch, then all of them will go bad. It's worth removing any hint of rot on mostly good apples to protect the rest. If a bad apple was allowed to rot among the bunch, you need to check every other apple for rot, because one bad apple absolutely will spoil the whole bunch.
