In short, 3RR buries the content dispute and

I opposed 3RR when it was introduced, and clearly I was not successful.
The point remains that its purpose was to calm down edit wars; it never
resolved content disputes. I don't see it as introducing a personal
dispute; it just tells the combatants to cool it.
Newbies don't understand 3RR, and blocking an
established user with dozens of good edits
each day, merely because of 4 little reverts on
a random article somewhere, is a good way to
make that user feel unloved and unwanted,
possibly turning a friend into an enemy.
The experienced user should know better.
