And that's to say that your winrate drops that drastically. If you have adjusted to playing more tables, and still have time to make decisions, then your winrate might not have such a drop, and therefore it becomes even more profitable to play more tables.
Something else to remember is that playing lots of tables leaves the player totally reliant on their heads up display and the statistics it provides. Obviously, these statistics are a godsend, and I would never say otherwise, but the 14 tabler is not doing individualized reads and is not watching the action, especially in hands he or she is not involved in. And this is going to have an effect, especially on post-flop play where what you've seen previously is a very important element in narrowing the player's range.
I suspect that a lot of extreme multitablers would actually become better poker players (and able to move up to higher limits) if they played fewer tables and got better at doing player-specific reads.
