Not at all - Puzzle bosses were generally (ab)used in Chasm, where the boss
of each sector was immune to normal weapon fire, but always had a method to
ensure it's easy death.

This is why hybrid puzzle/power bosses are considered better - while the
player is can eventually kill it with the most powerful/effective weapon
(e.g. player is fighting a boss with 750 hitpoints and a damage cap of 1),
there's always the option of using the finding and using the special attack
that hits the boss 700 times.
