Multiple exposures capture a different range of data. Merging these additional exposures increases the Dynamic Range over a single shot. You cannot get something that was never captured. You can capture multiple data ranges and merge them to create a true HDR exposure, the final image has a greater dynamic range than a (any) single image. You can make one image look HDR "ish" (which I do occasionally), but it is not the same.  The trick is to determine what opportunity would benefit from true HDR or just manipulation of a single exposure.</blockquote>
