No, he doesn't. << >> does not imply multiple voices unless you use \\ inside. It's less readable notation than proper chords like <g e>4. <f d> <e d>4 but it leads to the same events being processed (and consequently the same result being engraved) even though the music expression itself is different. > This may work in your example but you would definitely run into > problems very soon.

Yes, that's plausible, but your above reasoning about << >> remains incorrect. Things are more readable if you revert to << >> only when you indeed want parallel voices rather than just multiple notes in a chord.
