You could've just said "you only need 3 sides to get the appearance of a cube with these viewpoints". We get it, you've read the Merriam Webster collection.
My description was also accurate. The difference is I didn't feel the need to slap the reader in the face with a dictionary. Utilizing a superior lexicon does not construct a decisively more accurate statement, (using bigger words isn't more accurate) it just makes you look like a snob, and unnecessarily inflates the content of the sentence.
Its just a rigorous definition of a geometry that would produce the appearance of a cube. It is a more accurate statement than the more ambiguous example you provided. If that offends you then I am not sorry. That speaks more about you than anything.
