A ring during the jenuflections can alert people to the elevation, and indicate to those who can't see what's happening that the elevation is over.

LOL ... yeah, I've seen Low Masses with 6 servers, 4 of whom do absolutely nothing during the Mass.  :laugh1: 

I don't believe they even knew the responses and certainly weren't making them.  I guess it could be a way to help train the new altar servers, little by little.  I recall that the first time I served a Tridentine Mass, I was alone, and it was somewhat intimidating.

I had the same experience for my first time serving.

That brings back memories. We did that at our chapel for a while. We had 4 servers at a Low Mass, the 2 "normal" ones who actually did stuff, and the two in the middle who did nothing. I think the idea was for a bunch of the boys to get "stick time" (to use a pilot's term) -- experience at serving Mass.

…One might conclude…

As plain as the nose on your face, "one might conclude" is NOT dispositive, but is only speculation.

I do conclude that nowhere in any of the declarative statements is there explicitly a call for a "three-within-three" rubric.

I did not ask for "what makes sense to [you]." I asked for a statement of definitive authority and received… the speculation of someone without jurisdiction. Bait and switch.

If I am silly for being bothered by this, how much sillier is the person who can only offer what "one might conclude"?

"One might conclude" that "three-within-three" is in the same canonical category as clown "Masses."
