I mention 3 hole inhale - not 3 hole inhale first bend.
 
When you said 
<<However,  the same would not be true for 3 draw unbent, if  that is  
what you are referring to.>>
 
3 hole inhale = 3 draw unbent
 
so, you understand what I'm saying. I just said it in a fashion that  
temporarily confused you.

You wrote:

This goes hand in hand with  the disappointment chrom players have  
when they hear diatonic doing  it's "thang" and ignoring the chord  
changes - even happens in blues  where you don't have a lot of changes  
(example - cross harp, playing  3 hole inhale on the IV chord). This  
was one factor in the  divisiveness between the two camps.


Maybe I'm missing  something since I have no formal music training,  
but in second  position, isn't the 3 draw bent down a half step the  
flat 7th of  the  IV chord?  Accordingly, why wouldn't this be a note   
that is complimentary to the IV chord in blues material?  Since  this  
same note is also the flat 3d of the I chord, I've always  thought of  
it as a note that is complementary to both of those  chords and which  
can be used as a good transition note to lean on in  a  blues tune  
since it is a blue note in both the I chord and  the IV chord.    
However,  the same would not be true for 3  draw unbent, if that is  
what you are referring to.  Although i  have no formal music   
training, i am not oblivious to chord  changes, even in blues, so i am  
a little perplexed by your above  quoted statement.  Please enlighten  me.
