A better description, IMHO, would be that 3003old has thick walls and 3003 has
thin walls (hence the need for reinforcing struts that also allow to keep the
same distance for connecting studs).

Also, bricks in trans-colours all have thick walls… but modern ones are inventoreid
and sold under 3003, not 3003old.

Old? I'm not fan of discrimination by age.

Neither any discrimination, FYI.
Apart real sellers and pseudo ones, maybe - that seems correct to me.
