I don't understand how this is different from just requiring all 3 signatures?

@NateEldredge ok? please elaborate on what you are talking about , and how A can authorize a payment at Time0 to be pulled at Time1 from the partial signatures given to B and C. If all 3 signatures were required, then A would have to be present at Time0 and Time1
