Yes it can, but it Really Pays to know when, and when not, to use
it.  Definitely a method for the knowledgeable, or for Tim "Support
your local ER" Taylor.  Even using this circuit as example; if VW
hadn't in a rare fit of caution decided that 250 (or 450) watt
inductive load was maybe a bit much to be switching directly, you
could be holding a red hot paper clip in your hand, not to mention
the slight case of arc blindness.
