By the same token, he'll lose money even faster against 4 good players who are single tabling and 4 poor players.

You're making two assumptions that I think are incorrect. First, the population of good players is a fixed quantity - so by multitabling, their good play appears on more tables. I think some sites have more skilled players than others as a percentage of the overall population at the site, but I don't think the number of players who are good is a fixed value. One of the reasons this forum is here is to allow people to become more skilled through discussion and reading - this is increasing the population of skilled players.

The second assumption is that multitablers are universally good players. I don't believe this to be the case. Many multitablers have very exploitable weaknesses, some caused by the fact they're multitabling (decreased attention to detail, relatively robotic play as a result), and some simply because they're not that good. There are some multitablers that I'm familiar with that I'm less inclined to play back at, but there are others I eagerly play back at because I have an idea of some weakness or another in their game.

The trick is whether you yourself are interested in becoming skilled. The population of multitablers at microstakes (esp. 10nl and below) generally is still in a learning stage, and playing against them and the rest of the population at those stakes doesn't represent as huge a difference in skill levels as say jumping into 200nl.
