The fact that All does not show all the points is a bug in the log-based
plotting code which I think will be fixed in the next release.
I get confused about the difference between All and Full as well. I'm
told by the developer of PlotRange that PlotRange->Full uses the
PlotRange->All result and then does some clipping. The clipping is
similar (at least in concept and perhaps even in the internal code) to a
applying a RegionFunction. So there is a difference between All and
Full, but it's somewhat subtle (more subtle than I completely understand).
