This results in lower operating temperatures- oil and coolant- for more most driving conditions.

I'm no expert,
either.
Yes, with the lower temp thermo it opens at a lower temp... but it keeps getting hotter until it reaches operating temperature. The low temp thermo does not cause the engine to run cooler.
So "
This results in lower operating temperatures" is incorrect.
I installed the low temp thermo and my operating temps have remained unchanged.
