Yes, it should.

First, the relief valve must be properly installed in order to do its job.

Second, relief valves bleed, they don't gush--it's entirely possible to overpressurize a system by adding air faster than the relief valve can relieve it.

Third, I'm 100% positive that you don't have personal knowledge of all the "incidents" mentioned, and so cannot speak authoritatively on what did or did not cause them.

Fourth, rationalizing unsafe or disallowed practices with shoddy handwavium arguments and invented "facts" is not useful. So please stop.
