Default Tell-tale "****er" stream actually means what?

This has been a long-standing argument. On an outboard, does a good looking
"****er" stream mean that water is passing through the thermostat and
cooling channels? Or... does it merely mean that the impeller is pumping
water up to the thermostat. I think it only means the waterpump impeller is
ok and the thermostat could still be closed or clogged. Thanks
