There's "in phase" and there's "in phase"...

Sometimes you can get something complimentary with two mics, but they still won't cancel if inverted... which (mic signature aside) means they're only partially "in phase"...

So if you add a third mic --again maybe partially in phase-- you're almost certainly starting to get messy. Messy means distortion. Distortion sounds like more gain.
