The problem with Multi Player vs Single Player thing is that there's no real deterministic measurement of "good"ness. You just have to be better than other people.
Now, I'm not saying that Multi Player isn't more impressive, but an absolutely perfect run of a SP game makes you literally the best as possible as opposed to MP where meta games are ever changing and such, to where I don't think you can be "perfect" in mp.
Just my thoughts.
The easy counter argument is that being "the best" at something doesn't necessarily make you better than the not-best at something else. The best possible peanut butter sandwich is (to most people at least) is going to be inferior to the third best five course meal from a fancy French restaurant. The ceiling in single player perfectionism may simply be much lower than in multi player games
