I think this is stems from confusing language in the actual manual. "3 * (number of crates stacked above 2)." I read it to be 3 * the additional crates stacked above 2. So if it is a 3 crate stack, it would be 3 * 1 (because 3 is one more than 2) = 3. However, I now see how you can read it the other way.
If this is the case, I would take back saying that stacking is a non-factor and amend the statement to say stacking is not the most effective way to score.
