Perhaps "At least one" would be safer. Which reminds me of the old joke: John, Nicolas and Nathann are travelling through Scotland on a train when they go past a black sheep in a field. John says "Look, all Scottish sheep are black!". Nicolas says "No -- I think you mean *some* Scottish sheep are black." Nathann objects and insists on his version: "There exists at least one sheep in Scotland and at least one of sides is black." John PS Nathann, this is a *joke*.
