So definitely not either 1000 years ago or 3000 years ago, but in the range 975BC to 1025AD?

Cuz if it's got to be between 1/3000, it can't be 1000 or 3000, right?

Between can of course mean (1000,3000) or [1000,3000], right?

Just poking fun at the attempt to remove ambiguity including ambiguity.

Why are you assuming that the boundaries are whole calendrical years? Clearly, I meant exactly between the precise moment 1000 years ago and the precise moment 3000 years ago. ;)
