Recommended patch clusters in single user

This may be one of those amazingly daft questions that many people know the
answer to. I've seen multiple recommendations that patches are only ever
installed in Single User Mode.

But I can't seem to find any explanation as to why this is necessary.

The best I've managed to get is 'it's safer' because then you're definitely the
only person changing those files. But is that the only reason?

Regards All,
Ed.
