Try it before you talk, danno.

Cut any one of the three, and the knot will hold.
Since I'm talking about historical and not modern usage, and we know that modern HM ropes don't hold most knots well, obviously they're the exception.
Lots of us don't understand why the knot was used. But it was. So maybe somebody else knew something we--or some of us--don't.
