I've wondered this myself.
I look at it as telling the runner to go no matter what. I don't care if you don't have a good jump, didn't like the read you got on the pitcher, or whatever, just GO!
I want to say it lowered by chances of success in stealing, but that might have just been just a bad few games.
I would use it mostly for the high ST players, since they have, theoretically, the best chances of success in the given situation.
