That's certainly the idea, but it isn't very effective at doing that. I don't doubt that it does work sometimes, but not nearly as often as it should.
I've seen a lot of "slam dunk" RFCs that proved to, er, not be. Tony Sidaway got some great ones. I think Tony Sidaway 3 sets the record for stupidest RFC I've seen on the wiki.
