The three points met for lunch and discussed, as always, why they made a triangle, why it was satisfying in some respects, frustrating in others, how they felt represented them but also limited them, would people ever see them as anything else, and then, as always, one of them brought up the possibility that they could sit in a straight line to erase the shape but that devolved, as always, into a disagreement about who would be in the middle and an observation that the two points on the ends would not be able to see each other, tone matter-of-fact with an undertone of plaintive, and another one of them brought up the possibility that they could invite a fourth point to lunch, and they voted, knowing they only needed a majority to pass the measure, defeating it unanimously.
