What you heard, about the twisting, was one of the given reasons 3-points were better than lap belts alone. But the logic does not go both ways...
The reason for lap belts is to prevent you from flying around/out of the cabin, the 3rd point restrains your upper body, and prevents the aforementioned twisting, but only when using all 3 points.
If you skip the lap belt, when those belt pretensioners fire in an accident and you submarine the dashboard as you slide down the seat, it's gonna redefine 'serious spinal injury'.
