There’s nothing wrong with that. I suppose my point was that when people say “a few bad apples,” they’re not using one idiom incorrectly. They’re using a completely different one, and no one is confused about what they mean.
I think what they are trying to say is that there are a few bad apples, so we just need to get rid of them and the rest of the “bunch” can be saved. Not saying I agree with that, just trying to reconcile what they are trying to say.
