TheMir, interestingly the Baal Hatanya basically says the opposite of what you’re saying. I.e. the thick matzos were cooked and kneaded thoroughly, but today’s matzos are cooked in a super hot oven for only like 20 seconds. This is why, in his opinion, it was OK to eat gebrochts for hundreds of years and now it isn’t.
Matzah meal is the grossest substance known to man. Gebrochts evaders are not missing anything.
