This is what I would call an "invented rationalization".
There is no way that more coolant flow will give less cooling.
It is a thermodynamic impossibility. Much more likely is that
the lack of a thermostat caused cavitation at the pump due to
lack of backpressure, which in turn caused a LOSS of coolant flow.
