Sorry, I read this as "a single-thrust drive goes down when it fails a
threshold". Important difference, since it reduces the number of cases
where the multi-engined configurations have a lower average thrust
rating	(main or maneuvering) than the single-engined one. The ones
that remain all occur for odd-rated sub-engines.

All in all, this comment still holds true:
