Tell that to 2056, 217, 11, 973, 1730, or any other number of successful teams in 2011 alone who did just that.
Also consider that this is a generic arm for no particular game. There's no guarantee that the best angle to score a game piece at will line up perfectly with the angle a single joint arm provides. I love single jointed arms but you can't say single jointed arms are always "just as effective" regardless of the game.
