I'll politely disagree with it being the most logical approach as doing so may mask a partially blocked radiator that may show more flow without the T/ Stat restriction.
In my experience over the last 50 or so years, if increasing the RPM to 2-3K shows no flow one needs to investigate why. other causes are mentioned above.
I will agree with you on the waiting part beer


His first post - “ didn’t change anything” - now it over heats. Why would one assume anything is blocked.

Logically - pull the stat and see if you have flow. If nothing, first order of business is check the pump.
