I'm not grasping why if one professional chess player is a fraud, all else are?

Would the assumption be that the chess fraud was receiving move instructions from someone else? Again, not sure how that would philosophically impugn all other chess masters.

If the top chess master is a fraud everyone else who respected him and his expertise is also either a fraud or was deluded by a fraud. If you can’t tell who’s a fraud in your field when they have the kind of scrutiny being no. 1 invites there’s no there there.
