If this is any further proof of the usefulness:

I pruned the contorted filbert in my Mom's yard last year and used stakes and twine to raise some of the branches to give it a better shape. After around 9 months, the stakes and twine were removed, and the branches held their new place for hte most part.

Even though this is landscaping and not bonsai, I think it still applies.

FWIW,
