The reasoning on why there was no second Guardian changed as time went on. First the Baha'i world was in denial and wanted to find the next successor, then it was said that God changed his mind about hereditary Guardianship (in Arabic: Bada), and later it was said that there was always supposed to be only one Guardian, using this text from the Aqdas as validation:
"Endowments dedicated to charity revert to God, the Revealer of Signs. None hath the right to dispose of them without leave from Him Who is the Dawning-place of Revelation. After Him, this authority shall pass to the Aghsan, and after them to the House of Justice—should it be established in the world by then—that they may use these endowments for the benefit of the Places which have been exalted in this Cause, and for whatsoever hath been enjoined upon them by Him Who is the God of might and power. Otherwise, the endowments shall revert to the people of Bahá who speak not except by His leave and judge not save in accordance with what God hath decreed in this Tablet—lo, they are the champions of victory betwixt heaven and earth— that they may use them in the manner that hath been laid down in the Book of God, the Mighty, the Bountiful."
But this is a flawed reasoning for various reasons.
