I also suspect that the number of twin engine aircraft that have
suffered an engine failure in flight in IMC and then landed without
incident is also quite low.
Based on what? Published statistics? Personal experience? For me it's
4/4. You rarely hear about any of the majority which conclude without
further incident.
The risk comparison between single engine vs multi engine for a flight like
this in reality is probably close, although psychologically it may seem like
there is a vast difference.
Since the risk came primarily from the pilot, and not from the airplane,
you may be correct. Such a mental attitude would be fatal in any airplane.
