My point is that three days wasn't enough time to properly scare the shit out of the Japanese and convince them to surrender.
Instead of dropping the Nagasaki bomb three days after Hiroshima, a nice public announcement of "hey, we have more of these and we're not afraid to use them" to the Japanese government couldn't have hurt. 4-5 days weren't going to make or break anything in the war.
I just don't see the point of destroying a second city until all other reasonable options had been explored.
