One can discuss what “choosing three points independently and uniformly at random from the interior of a unit circle” means, but whatever you pick, I don’t think that method is doing it.

Doesn’t it have half its circle centers have 0 < c < ½, while that covers only a quarter of the area of the unit circle?
