No...that's the entire point of the discussion above. If you have a ratcheting wrench, attempt to tighten an already tight bolt. While applying a tightening force, try to flip the ratchet switch. It won't work. The pawl is under tension as well and you can't overcome it without significant force...far more than your fingers could apply.
