Shlishi: There’s a Machlokes Tannaim B’kol Hatorah Kulah about whether it takes something happening twice to create a Chazakah or whether it takes 3 times. The Gemara in Yevamos talks about why and in which cases we split the P’sak. So the reason we say it’s a Chazakah after 2 in the case of a Katlanis (and by Meisu Echav Machmas Milah) is because there’s a Pikuach Nefesh involved so it’s S’feiko L’hachmir and we treat 2 as a Chazakah. But even if you will say like this Rashi that a concept of “Muchzekes L’geirushin” exists, there’s no reason not to Pasken that it takes 3 times to create a Chazakah because that’s the way we Pasken in almost every other case.
