I have a 3 year old pre-lit Christmas tree and about half of the lights are completely out. When I took it back to the store, I was told that you must replace any defective bulb, otherwise, more power will be sent to all the other bulbs on the string and they, too, will burn out.
The store is saying that this caused a short in the wiring, and it cannot be fixed. I don't find this explanation credible. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Here is my insight: You are most probably hitting a wall on this one. Most of these billions of electric trees are mass produced somewhere in China or thereabouts, with the lowest cost workers and materials, etc. You can be sure that no one here really knows (or cares about) anything about a particular tree's wiring, etc., as even the trees in one store may be from many different producers somewhere.
However, if you bought an expensive tree from an expensive source, you may have some say in a disagreement.
