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.

I agree the wording can indeed be interpreted both ways, and unfortunately it was difficult to word this section of the rules. The way it will be "scored" is only the crates above the two crate mark will be counted. So in a stack of 6 crates, only 4 of the crates are above the 2 required minimum crates, which results in 12 points (4 crates * 3 points each = 12 points).
