i think it's probably a marginal improvement at best - if town gets lynched day 1 the templar is going to out regardless, if scum gets lynched they're already in an advantageous situation
well it's actually probably because people are maybe a little better than random, as a whole - or maybe that lynches are only semi-random, as not everyone really has an equal chance of being voted - a templar will never vote a templar, for instance
