That's what I like to use it for. To come up with plausible answers for questions that people don't have correct answers for yet, and then probe the reasons behind it. It can be very creative and insightful in such uses.
Yep, this is how I've been using it too. The responses I get are often good starting points for further investigation. Often it comes up with better terms to find the answer that I am seeking than I had originally.
