Could be, it was a little ambiguously worded. That said, single-decree Paxos is much simpler than Raft but I agree The Part-Time Parliament's analogy is a pain to read. But it's better if you just ignore the beginning chunk of the paper and read like the appendix; A1 The Basic Protocol being simpler to understand.

There’s also the side-by-side Paxos/Raft comparison in Howard & Mortier’s “Consensus on consensus”[1] paper, which is not enough to understand either by itself, but a great help if have a longer explanation you’re going through.
