YES
Only if you use the lexicon as it was intended to be used: not just to find a "quickie" gloss for a Greek word in a text that you're reading or translating, but to research the range of attested senses in which a word is used. One needs to have some sense of who the cited authors cited actually are and when they wrote and what genre they were writing in. I've found personally that one marvelous feature of the Logos combination of the LSJ lexicon with the free Perseus texts is that clicking on a reference in an LSJ entry takes one directly to the passage cited, so that one can examine the usage in its fuller context.
