I must say this is a surprise to me too. I would interpret it to mean 3 reverts of the same material not of three different additions to the same article.
As would I.
The interpretation you argue for makes removal of nonsense unnecessarily burdensome and risky.
Agreed.
If it is to be interpreted that way it needs to be changed.
I haven't seen any other admins interpreting it that way.
I have, lots. It was interpreted as "a revert is a change to any previous version" after Cantus started taking the piss by doing reverts to slightly different previous versions.
Of course, 3RR blocks can be removed before 24 hours if an admin considers the editor is not likely to do it again. I just went to unblock Slrubenstein and saw he appears unblocked already.
