I would like to see the definitive proof that a girl is less likely to get hurt with at third official.

There likely isn't any, but if you have more people seeing things and calling things, it is hard to argue that more is better.

only if "seeing" and "calling" are also preventative, which they rarely are -- they are punitive.

Doesn't mean, of course, that someone won't claim that the injury could have been prevented, and it will cost time and / or money to refute that claim.

Proof is not always required for change.
