It really wouldn't be twice as thick as much as it would be just jittering 
up and down every 60th of a second vs. the normal method where the top 
field is always displayed but the bottom field is not, yielding the black 
scanline separator.

The thing is, the bleedover in the phosphors is what gives the illusion 
that the scanline is thicker than it is when in noninterlaced mode, and 
consequently, is also the reason why when you stack two colors on opposite 
fields, they blend in (in addition to persistence of vision of course).
