Apparently I don't understand how the bypass works. All industrial systems I've worked on would open the valve going to the cooler when temp rose and there would still be some flow through the bypass unit. What you are describing has the cooler lines open all the time and the bypass closing the "main" galley to force oil through the cooler. If you are right about that, then you are right about the rest.
