Also, sorry for the sarcasm.

If Im wrong, why does he need to replace every spoke? Im here to learn, not attack.
He should replace them all because it is likely the original broken spokes are from a poorly built and under-tensioned wheel and the same load-unloading cycles that caused the spokes to break have been applied to all the spokes of the wheel and fatigued all the others. They're broken spokes waiting to break.
