The natural reading to me of the second statement is "in A, every man has no wives [i.e. no man has any wife]" (untrue). The equivalent reading of the first statement - "in A, every man has four wives" is so demographically improbable, that the first statement forces the interpretation "in A, there exist some men with four wives". This is true.

I more or less concur.

BTW if you want to force us to choose one or the other wouldn't a radio-button poll have been better than ticky-boxes?

Yes; the tickyboxes were a mistake. Still, changing them now would be too much trouble - I don't expect too many people to tick both boxes.
