Yes, I think so. It's unfortunate that a side-effect of force field technology is to scramble neurons so much that, for example, bystanders think that merely pointing guns rather than, say, firing bullets at high speed from them is the way to stop menacing telepathic aliens.

I wonder how long it would take a planet to turn inside-out if you used force fields to hold open the walls of a shaft to the core and then unstoppered it.
