not really
apart from the fact that the majority (if not all) perfect wins usually come off the back of 1-2 PR results (depending on the size of the game) which requires zero cohesion (not to mention things like slips, bad fake-claims from scum, etc), town doesn't need to be well-coordinated to lynch, say, a lurker that happens to be scum and town doesn't need to have strong players or good teamwork to sheep a vocal player (or group of players) that happen to be right about scum (
especially
when said people sheeping probably sheep every game anyway and don't need to be "in sync" to do what they do...)i also think there's a difference between a town whose reads are "in sync" because the majority is reading the game, putting forth arguments/reasoning and coming to the same conclusions independently and a town whose reads are "in sync" because key players are putting forth arguments and others are agreeing with them because that's what they do / that's how they play - the former is extremely rare and is the only time i'd say a town (as a whole) performed well, the latter is a case where the sheep aren't really doing anything they wouldn't do in every other game, so it's not like a special case where everyone is playing above and beyond the norm...
