Will the Auto tuner (SGC-237) that claims to match any wire greater

I once forgot to attach my bugcatcher so my SG-230
tuned a single four foot bottom section and reported
finding a match on 75m. The question is not will it
find a match but will it put any power into the antenna
at that "match" point - or is the tuner itself just a
dummy load?
