I thought the op was asking about an official ruling. The consensus seems to be that it's allowed since the book doesn't say one way or the other. I'm fine with that; my question was only whether it was just a feeling or if he had a specific reason for his thinking. I haven't read the backlog of rules threads here, for example, and I don't have the 2nd Ed. (which I understand has clarified rules).
I was asking if there was something "official" somewhere on this... it's 2017, and I'm new to the game... I didn't feel like looking back over 5 years of clarifications. I have the 2nd edition of the game (and have seen the 1st edition rules as well), and despite the 2nd edition claiming to clarify the rules better than 1st edition, this particular rule (or possible outcome) is not covered in the 2nd edition rules either.
Bottom line, I was just asking if I had missed something official... apparently I have not missed anything official, but I had interpreted the rule the same as the consensus here (two 3-of-a-kind do count for VP)... I just wanted veterans of the game to basically tell me what I had come to believe the rules had meant.
