Eric,
I'll look for the reference. Actually it's neither obscure nor the excuses of poor writers. It's learning theory--which may be obscure to an IT tech writer, but for the psychologists, teachers, and other professionals involved in real life learning occupations, it's a guide to more effective, user-centered instruction.

Can you give a reference to the source of this information?
Are you sure it's three sentences, or is it three ideas/principles?
In any case sounds like another incarnation of the dubious rule of seven that
instead of being a used guideline it's used by poor writers as a replacement for
intelligence and judgment. These 'rules' may be applicable to some obscure
situation designed for a study but nothing in this world can be blindly applied
to all situations.
Regardless, both boil down to trying to apply precision to something that hardly
needs clarifying. "Say/Write what needs to be said/written. No more, no less."
