I still like twins. Not only in the plane! I have made 3 carrier single

Three SE traps? Somebody was trying to tell you to change careers.

About 60% of my 4800 hours were in twin-engine aircraft. Had 7 engine
failures that required SE landings (No CV, but maybe somebody was telling me
the same thing). The remainder, F-8's and A-4's, not a hiccup from the
motor.

John,

Is it your contention from these statements that single engine fighters are
already more reliable than twins?
