You will make some specific check for three continuous dots? Well, there are areas with thousands of such orphaned nodes and trying to check if there are somewhere three dots in a line in such areas wouldn't be easy - either the check will be very slow, prone to errors, or you will need some complex and sophisticated algorithm to make it at least somewhat reliable.
Yes, I think a re-think is in order regarding the validators or at *least* those with a direct influence on editing like the JOSM validator. When they were introduced, people were relatively sure about what they were doing and the validator was just an "ummm, not sure if this is right...?" voice, to be taken with a grain of salt. But nowadays, too many take the validators for gospel, and refrain from making legitimate edits because a validator flags them up. Today, validators should be more cautious about what they flag.
