I don't know if it was your paraphrasing, or the way it was put in the book, but "If your story idea doesn't have all 3 then it's not a complete premise" strongly suggests that with all 3 it is a complete premise. (Hmm... there's that word again, I just can't make it sit right in my head ... but I can sort of see the author's problem, they don't want to claim they mean "story" or even "plot" since then the shortcomings of the advice would become just too obvious.)
By now you know what I'm like, I see these overly simplistic theories and go a little over the top. I find them quite irritating. I hope the book is based on more than that single premise (and this time the word fits).

Ah, yes. Getting more adult now.
