Mendel was very very lucky that he chose the traits that he did. They happened to be single gene traits. If he had picked any number of multigene traits, it would be very difficult if not impossible to work out how simple gene inheritance works.

Maybe he only reported on the ones that followed the patterns he could explain. A statistical analysis showed that he most likely fudged some data, too.
