Agreed, but the way I interpret the original post (and also the situation that I added later in the post) is that the third official (who has no responsibilities in that area) makes the call.

If the third official makes the call, we have all three officials watching the same area and that is just not good 3-person officiating. In fact, it's a complete waste and we might as well go back to 2-person in that case.
