I would say that they not only can, but actually they are very useful :) I _always_ use lead-in and lead-out moves. Sometimes they are just a few mm long, but still. And only case, when those lead-ins and outs are not arcs, is rectangular outer contour, all other cases and especially for _all_ inside contours I am using exclusively arc lead-in and lead-out moves. I think that straight lead-in and the corner, where it meets the actual contour creates more visible mark than a gradual approaching of the actual path as it is with arc lead-in. I have seen results of waterjet cutting, where the burn point is right on the contour and I hate the way it looks, so I think that for plasma and waterjet a lead-in is a must, lead-out is optional.
