Exactly.  I'm saying that the 303'd URI is a property of the
original URI, not of the resource identified, as I suggested
in this message:

Names having different properties doesn't stop them being
aliases.

5. Consider polite or medical terms vs swear words, for
example, or URIs defined by your own company vs those
defined by a competitor.

6. Because they're in different dictionaries written by
different people with different backgrounds and maybe in
different languages, which is analogous to URIs defined
by different people...
