That's how I build most of my new sets. Dump the pieces out, hide the
instructions, and see how close I can get to the pictures on the box.
This is usually trivial with town, fairly difficult with sets with good
brick mixes like the star wars, and essentially impossible on the large
technic sets, where you're not quite sure what some parts of the model
do in the first place, or have no pictures of some of the model as
reference.
Not that I actually think this approach would help Lego sell more sets...
I do agree with Steve though. I find most of the instructions slow
down the building, so I usually only reference every 4th or 8th
instruction image.
