I agree with your underlying point, but the way you framed your argument is less convincing because it doesn’t coincide with the findings of linguists.
It’s not the number of languages you learn, but the age at which you learn them. So a child might learn 4 languages as easily as learn 1. But once childhood is over, no matter how many languages you already know (or don’t know), learning more is always difficult.
I was actually speaking of age, rather than number—if I gave the opposite impression then I must have written my comment poorly.
