It can IF everyone (or most members) do understand and follow it.

Some are put off by the formality, because they think it 'slows things down' or 'gets in the way', not realizing that the formality is more to ensure things are done properly.

Too often instead of learning the basics, some just want to chuck it out.

Its like a game. If you want to play a game and play it well, you learn the rules (doesn't mater if the game is Monopoly or baseball). The rules for a meeting are parliamentary procedure. So if you want to 'play' you need to learn the rules.
