Sounds like legalism to me. Common sense that socks

blocked for 3RR can be blocked at the very least for any further
reverts (not 3 more, even one more is enough). Common sense also says
that a 3RR block should not be extended.
Let's not get hung up on pedantic legalistic arguments over whether
3RR is a "block" or a "ban" or whether or not admins have a
"right"
to block or not block. This is an encyclopedia, not an experiment in
bureacracy.
Right!
Our policy pages are around to help make our behavior more uniform and
to reduce the surprise when we do what we normally do... They do not
exist to shackle us. The wikipedia community reserves the right to
decided everything on a case by case basis. Consistency is important
but it is less important than having a correct solution.
