Exactly.   Also, with the thermostat closed, there is no water flow anywhere; 
the water pump is just chugging away but the water is more or less stationary 
throughout the system, which can potentially lead to hot spots if you have a 
high-temp thermostat.   Only when the thermostat opens does water start 
flowing.
