There's more to it than theory....but just because you own a twin doesn't mean you would have suffered any more damage than owning singles your whole life... depends on where and how you boat.
But without any doubt in my mind, singles with full keel protection (not all have it) are less likely to occur damage in many situations where a twin would....everything equal.

You guys saw the picture of my prop
I'm pleased to say that I haven't been aground in at least 3,000 nm, but who's counting.
