You rolled three dice, counting it later as two because you only rolled one hit is incredibly obtuse, and thankfully not supported by the rules.

Wrong.

Cancelled dice are removed entirely from consideration. Added results are added dice.

Neither of these two statements are correct. I recommend rereading my post and/or the rulebook.

When a die result is canceled, a player takes one die displaying the canceled result and physically removes the die from the common area. Players ignore all canceled results.

What does this mean, exactly?

Ditto the similar passage which tells you how to handle added results, by taking a die, setting it to the relevant face, and adding it to the pool of attack dice.

You're incorrect. There's nothing else I can really say.

I already explained this: The common area isn't the same as in play. A die removed from the common area still exists.

WTF is common area...? Find me a word about such a entity in rulebook. Just one frakkin word.

You make up some rule term and hope anyone gonna take your arguments seriously...?

Seriously, rules section of this forum has one use nowadays: to laugh and be amazed by amount of problems people can find in a place where they don't exist. In our weekly playing sessions lately we are used to laughing at idiotic rules interpretations some fellas here come up with.

Everyone can stop there. The rule already have been shown about adding and canceling and he still believe he is the one right even if he is literaly the only one. Good for him, no need to argue about trying to make him understand rules he don't want to.

If by now, even after many FAQ and rule clarification, he still think Canceled result are not really removed and Added result are not really added, he will never understand it. Let him play with Finn or Advanced Targeting Computer dice not being rerollable. He probably find Finn really bad...
