I return structures or parameter objects from functions all the time. It is a single object but can have many properties and this still meets the definition of a single return value.

A single exit point: I agree that many use the intital test (which equals 2 exit points):

public bool myMethod()
{
    if (someCondition)
    {
          return false;
    }
    
    ...more code here
 }

    return true;

I don't code that way. I set a variable and then return the variable. What I meant is using a switch strucutre where you have exit points based on the case being examined, situations where you can have many exit points.
