Because 'pm3d' is an option for 'splot's, not for normal 'plot's

Neither of those options has anything to do with smoothing.  What you
should use depends on what kind of data you have, and also whether it's a
2D or 3D plot.  2D plot has the 'smooth' option, which see.  3D plot can
be made smoother by the 'dgrid3d' option.  Or you can do the smoothing
yourself, before you hand the data to gnuplot.
