No It helps me a lot to initiate my own thinking process. If I agree with the engine move I can go on. If I dont agree for some reason I have to find and check the alternatives. Certainly an engine can find the right move for the wrong reason and discard it later on. However if a program finds the right moves on average earlier than another program then it is also more likely that it shows convincing score and pv earlier because moves at the top of the list are calculated longer.
