I disagree.  It is much easier to obtain a "satisfactory" (representative, acceptable) outcome for a multi-winner election than it
is to obtain a "satisfactory" (representative, acceptable) outcome for a single-winner election.  Choosing a method to elect the
candidate who best represents the voters in a single-winner election is the most difficult challenge in electoral science.  As soon
as you elect two or more candidates together, many of the problems disappear.
