> Understanding is a three-edged sword.

Have you ever tried to make a three-edged sword?  The only way to do it
while keeping them evenly spaced radially is to make 3 one-edged swords 
and then weld them together along their back edges, which is nothing but
trouble.  You could always cheat and take a regular two-edged sword and
single edged sword and weld them together, but the resulting
cross-section would be T-shaped.

Of course, actually using a three-edged sword is just as bad.  You're
almost completely precluded from performing slashing attacks, limiting
you to stabbing.  If you're in the middle of a swordfight you're
going to be doing a lot of parrying, and switching from parrying to
stabbing is much harder from switching from parrying to slicing, making
a three-edged sword ineffective.

And so, in conclusion:  Understanding is ineffective.
