I'm not convinced by your argument. If this was true we would expect the unofficial "uncensored" Llama 3 finetunes to outperform the official assistant ones, which as I understand it isn't the case.
It also doesn't make sense intuitively, o1 isn't particularly good at creative tasks, and that's really the area where you'd think "censorship" would have the greatest impact, o1 is advertised as being "particularly useful if you’re tackling complex problems in science, coding, math, and similar fields."
