That is probably correct. But I suspect that a true acoustic body will react differently to the vibrations from the strings through the bridge, and that response will then spread back to the strings. Now a normal Thinline has so thick walls and lids that the difference doesn't matter. But put the same pickup on a solid tele and a jumbo acoustic and I am pretty sure you would notice the difference.
And Thinlines do look sweet! 8)
Plus - assuming it doesn't matter much to the sound - me and my back like them light...
