I'm afraid this explanation jumps through hoops as unjustifiable as those Tschichold used. Again conflating z and ezh, shifting characters about for no apparent reason, and papering over a complete lack of similarity in characters. Passing off a distorted 3 as an acceptable Romanized ezh is simply misleading.
I can understand a desire to link the modern form with the Fraktur form, but it simply isn't there in the design. To understand why long-s+short-s was regarded as a clean and satisfactory form you need to look at what printers were using *instead* of ß in Roman type in the late 19th century.
