It really works but you have to put some effort into it. Perfect for practicing both alternate and sweep picking techniques. It can be a pretty humiliating experience at first.

I just recently switched from a 351 fender sytle pick to a small jazz pick so I can see how you would have to re-learn picking with the stylus pick

Yes, switching to a smaller pick (or as Joe Pass used, half a pick!) takes some time but gets you "closer" to the guitar's tone I believe.Originally Posted by Big_Rob
However, the Stylus is just a practicing tool, not to be used (in general) for actual playing.

Ritchie Blackmore uses an unusual pick as well. I found this example on Ebay.
