thinking that Battler and Beatrice explicitly said "17 persons" is wrong.

No, anyone who translates that as "17th human" is wrong. Anyway, there no point in arguing about this when I'm positive that it cannot be translated as "17th person" or "17th human".
By the way, "hito" is no the correct reading for 人 in "１７人だ。". Hitori, futari, sannin, yonnin, etc...
I know you already know this so I have no idea what you are arguing about.
