That seems to be what all the engineers say.  And, I am sure they are
correct.  I just can't make myself do it that way.  I used 1 per attach
point on my first KR, and it worked, so I feel comfortable with it.  I think
it is the thought that if any one of those bolts fail, it is all over.

There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building
is OVER.

A better design is to use one long bolt with a
compression member between the WAF pairs instead of paired short
bolts, placing the joint in a balance double shear.   This is my
considered opinion as a professional engineer.
