It's about whether a RULE works. The three knockdown rule CLEARLY doesn't. It can't differentiate between a GENUINE knockdown and a SLIP.
Of course it can determined! the difference between a slip and a kd is often obvious.

The ref obviously deems it a slip or a KD. If it's a knockdown it's counted as one.

Sure there may be the ocasional mistake but whats the liklihood of three slips in one round being deemed Knockdowns?
