I'd actually agree, based on the people I've met, if we're talking
here about general average trends. It's certainly not a reliable rule
on a case-by-case basis.

Revise that to "being SUCCESSFULLY polyamorous," and I'd agree there's
a trend this way too on average. The same is also true for people in
successful long-term mono marriages. But because poly is more
complicated and demanding, being good at it in the long run probably
does mean working more deliberately at developing "sensitive and
compassionate" skills.
