Default Little coolant bypass hose????

OK guys,. . . . . I always hear about drilling a little hole in the thermostat to allow for some flow when the t-stat is shut. Thus eliminating hot spots in or near the heads. That is all well and good and makes sense except for on thing that I always think of when hearing this.

Don't ALL 289's, 302's, and 351W's have that little elbow bypass hose that goes from the passenger side of the thermostat housing directly into the top (input) of the waterpump. Isnt that specifically what that hose is for??????

Bewildered
