Ruby on Rails

I was reading some ruby one liners. The rescue style seems to make it easy to write short pieces of code, but it feels like I am forcing an error and then just ignoring it in some cases. I guess I am an older programmer and was never encouraged to write this sort of code, but do most people feel like this is good style ?

def receipt_available
   quote_responses.count > 0 && rqstate.eql?("submitted") rescue false
end

obviously if  code had alot of possible errors to recover from you wouldn't do that
