I hope this is accurate, but from what I heard the Third Punic War was just an excuse to go yeet Carthage again

"There is a surviving snatch of Ennius' epic poem on the history of Rome that refers explicitly to 'the Second Punic War' in which he had fought as a Roman ally; it was written even before the third had happened." - SPQR by Mary Beard. What is the significance of this?
In Chapter 5, after noting that Romans typically define their history in terms of war, there is the excerpt from the title. What is the point being made? What is the significance?
In particular "it was written before the third had happened" seemed to imply to me that it was significant they called the war the "Second" before the third had even occurred. But this seems fairly logical after two wars; it would have been surprising to find references to the "First Punic War" in the records before the occurrence of the second.
Is there something I'm missing?

Shortly before the Third Punic War, the grandson of Scipio Africanus warned that Carthage should NOT be destroyed.
"Shortly before the brutal Third Punic War (149-146 BC) in which Carthage was finally destroyed and its population killed or enslaved, Scipio Nasica, the grandson of the military genius of the Second Punic War, Scipio Africanus, warned the Senate that though Rome's position as a dominant power should be preserved, Carthage should not be destroyed as a rival. Were this to occur, there would be no check to Rome's arrogant disregard for the legitimate interests and concerns of smaller states. Moreover, in the absence of any external threat, the Roman Confederation would be in danger of disintegrating as fractious political and social groups pursued their own self-interested ends. Events proved Scipio's prediction to be remarkably perspicacious."
