Focusing Cheat

Perhaps I've just discovered that someone invented the wheel, but...

When setting up a shot, I looked at the waveform monitor (in DV Rack) and noticed that it peaked when the image was in focus.

Is this a resonable way to get things sharp or those of us whose eyesight ain't what it used to be?

I'd imagine there'd be subject/lighting situations where it wouldn't work all that well, but generally speaking?
