'The sentence, "This entire notion is built on the erroneous premise
that what is good for the whole is good for all of the parts", should
have read "This entire notion is built on the erroneous premise that
what is good for the whole is good for each of its parts". '
 
Why?  Both of these sentences (all/each of) are acceptable and idiomatic
in current writing pratice.
