Isn't a hyphenated multi-word domain better than a non-hyphenated multi-word domain? After all, hyphens are treated as spaces by crawlers and stand a better chance to figure as a meaningful phrase for a particular niche.
Am I thinking in the right direction?

The reputed added value of hyphenated domain names ebbs and flows, particularly across search engines. Some say there may be - or may have been - some value in the MSN engine.
IF ranking for a phrase IS as easy as adding hyphens then all you would see, for long tail subjects, would be multi-hyphen domain names - with no other variables at play. Is that what you see OR, are multi-hyphen domains also associated with brute force button pushing SEO: link spamming?
If rank by SEO by whatever means is your game then you need to treat domains as a disposible commodity and run 1000s of domains on many servers with unique IPs, little footprints, etc.
If you are going to play then you have to experiment, because by the time word gets out about what works either it no longer works or it only works for those who know more about the subject than has leaked out. Or they have more robust resources for keeping the old ways alive for another day, week, month, . . .
