Is this a common / default practise to follow each time using Findroots? why is other formula dont required the function eva? I am starting to get very confuse

The problem is due to the embedded assignment in FindRoot.
When t_thick is defined, the solution command is just stored but not executed.
It is first time executed, when t_thick is displayed. At that point, t.t gets defined by internal assignment.
At the second attempt to display t.thick, this fails because FindRoot needs undefined variables.
using eval() enforces immediate execution of FindRoot and assigns the result to t.thick.
Subsequent references to t.thick just display the stored value instead of executing FindRoot again.
