Depends.
The generic crappy single-ply PTs I'm talking about are about half the thickness of your Brawny PTs (insert name brand high quality PT here). You can basically see thru them if you hold them up in front of direct sunlight. Now, usually these get used while fishing/hunting/camping, so at best I'm using them in vault-style toilets, not running plumbing.
But I have used them before in the house experimentally zs well as at gas stations that didn't have TP in the stall. And they flushed just fine. Of course, I use them sparingly; I'm not folding things over four and five times for one wipe. I'm taking about 6-8 inches of paper, folding once. Repeat. Done. Never had any problems doing it that way in indoor plumbing. YMMV of course.
