I always thought synthetic oil is better because it is thin at room temperature so that it protects the engine better during a cold startup. This could cause leaks until the engine warms and the normal operating tolerances are achieved. Does this make sense?

Yes, I agree. Cold startups are to synthetic's advantage.
