+1 - that describes it perfectly.
Think of it as something that turns the throttle into more of an on-off switch. If all you do is rolling starts, mash the gas and go in a straight line, it can't hurt. If you track the car or autocross, where good throttle control is critical, it is absolutely the WRONG thing to do to your car. For similar reasons (think wet roads), it is probably a much better tool for a Honda than a 500hp under-tired MBZ.

It remindes me of the old throttle pulley modifications I used a long time....yes...in my honda.
