Default Why are multiple engines different?

I'm not making things up. If engine reliability is constant, the
chances of a failure in a twin are higher than they are in a single.



If you are not making things up, back up your statements with references.
Until you do so, you have no credibility.


Actually, it's a correct statement. IF you have two dice, the chances
of getting getting a one (on either of them) is greater than the chances
of getting a one by rolling just one die, simply because you have two
shots at it.
