No need to make it personal. I'm absolutely fine with you being misinformed, just trying to help keep the OP from following in your footsteps.

BTW: Looks like the Stewart Components agrees with my claim, however, no doubt that the misconception that you subscribe to is the prevalent train of thought, no matter how illogical or impossible it may be.

Clip from the Stewart article posted by cycleguy55:

"A common misconception is that if coolant flows too quickly through the system, that it will not have time to cool properly. However, the
cooling system is a closed loop, so if you are keeping the coolant in the radiator longer to allow it to cool, you are also allowing it to stay in
the engine longer, which increases coolant temperatures. Coolant in the engine will actually boil away from critical heat areas within the
cooling system if not forced through the cooling system at a sufficiently high velocity. This situation is a common cause of so-called "hot
spots", which can lead to failures."

EDIT: Don't want to sidetrack the OPs thread, however, I would challenge anyone to provide a single shred of scientific evidence that increasing coolant flow (by removing the thermostat) in a close system will lead to loss of the heat exchanger's ability to function.
