To me, saying: "Multithreaded programs are not difficult, you just have to know how to do them" is extremely similar to "Multithreaded programs are difficult, and you have to know how to do them" I've done a lot of multithreaded programs, and, yep, you have to use some good practices to avoid making the code explode. You know, having to learn them and stuff is why they are "difficult". Just because you know how to get something done does not make that "easy". That's what experience is for.
