I agree that the wording certainly isn't the best, in light of what is present elsewhere in the rules, and I can also see the logic of your argument. I do think however that the purpose and intent of the rule would be to NOT award 3 points in cases where a defined 3-point "try" or "tap" would normally have ended by rule- such as in this situation. I also think that the casebook play that I cited follows the actual intent of the rule.
