However, in a triple threat environment, the rules should be different. The champ wasn't involved in the double decision, therefore he should not be involved in the following title decision.

Dear God, please send this bit of logic to Vince McMahon before Monday night....
but the point is its a draw, Edge didn't win, Benoit didn't win, HHH didn't win. Who was in on the pin isn't really relevant because there was no deicison. Therefore logically HHH should still be champ.
