I think that's a fine explanation for a "house rule" reasoning why it's
plausable for Dual-Classing to be the domain of Elves and Multi for humans.
I think I personally will (for now) stick with the rules as written, with
this excuse (or something like it):
"Elves, being the semi-divine creatures that they are, are able to think on
multiple levels at once, and grasp vastly different concepts, so they can
multi-class. Humans, being bairly above the ameoba level, can bairly walk
and chew gum at the same time, so they can only understand one class at a
time."
(and there, I said something else in favor of elves).
