As deecee stated, not everyone will be paying attention to the 3 pt attempt signal, so the good signal is to reinforce the fact that it was a 3 and not a 2.

Red_Killian,
Yer right.
Another reason for signalling the attempt above the shoulder is so the Trail may more easily see the Lead mark the try, and then the Trail (and or Center) may signal/mirror the three.
