The implication it was to "test" the bomb, that's just tinfoil hattery. Also people seem to ignore the fact that after Hiroshima they were asked to surrender or face more like attacks...Japan refused. Then the is Russia, who just declared war on Japan and started the invasion into Japanese held Manchuria, that might have been a reason we didn't need to drop a 3rd bomb.
