Why do you assume that the the official with the "clearer" look saw the two, while the one with the "doubt" saw a three?

Couldn't your quote read: With two officials signaling different signals there must be some doubt and someone clearly saw the three?

You may be right about one thing. Since the three point line was added to the game, many, many, years ago, in all cases of different signals near that gray-area, lead side, foul line extended, for two man games, we've gone with two points 99%, if not 100%, of the time. But it's still worth getting together for a few seconds, and confirming with the scorekeeper, to get it right, because as Jurassic Referee stated, this is a correctable error situation, and we don't want the time limit to pass before we try, and by rule, fail, to get it right.
