I see no reason to discourage the 2A+3T combo.
But 3-3 combos should be rewarded even more.
Which they are in the short program, i.e., by being allowed there at all.
Discouraging one thing and encouraging something else is the same difference to me. Evgenia, for example, is better off doing the 3F-3T in the SP but worse off doing the same move in the LP (relative to the 2A-3T). A 3-3 earning more points or a 2A-3T earning fewer each discourage the decision to do the latter in the LP.
