Sure, why not? If I knew I was buff enough (and all my opponents had
empty hands) I'd unsleaze myself and tackle the Guardian Fire Elemental
for extra Reputation, or, should I have second thoughts about having
every one of my Runners turned, bump into the Nets to send a few home,
or "accidentally" step on the Hellhound's tail to get rid of my
opponent's tail-gating Red Widow. Or Kamikaze run, as I mentioned
above.

This, actually, was one of the gimmicks I used in my recent submission
to FASA - Challenges you might actually want to encounter for a change.
Not to mention Objectives you might want to turn down..
