Yes I agree.

Running the extra oil volume of an oil cooler, I would be running a thermostat to allow the oil to get to operating temp faster and then maintain that temp.

A large efficient cooler will allow this, but without a thermostat, the oil won't warm up enough from short trips.

Then the acid buildup in the oil eats the bearings away.
