True Position in 3 axis???

Ok, I have read the post regarding this so called argument that my boss and I got into today. He told me that you cannot measure true position in 3 axis, as I told him he was wrong. I know it depends on the way the FCF calls it out, but I tried to explain to him that it is possible to measure TP in 3 axis.
I have seen the formulas, so I know it's possible. I just wish I could get one of you gurus to reply back explaining that it is possible and why. I see the picture but he does not. I do not like to get into pissing matches with upper management, but I have learned a h**ll of alot from you guys, and I know this is possible. So if one of you fine gentleman can back me up on this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Now I am going to get a cold beer.

Yes, BUT, there are TWO Axis thare are reportable. The IMPLIED ZERO is the second Axis. Also, the SHAPE of the feature does NOT necessarily dictate the shape of the tolerance zone. You do NOT have to use a Diametric tolerance zone for a hole if you do not want to. You CAN use spherical for a point if you want to.

Sorry about the pic that I did not include. I will try to add it.

Surface CAN be a feature of size, sort of, if you are dealing with stock thickness (yes, sheet metal).
