It really does not resolve anything it just allows a bad configuration to work. The guard is there so that if one side is configured as a channel and the other side is not, the channel gets shut down. Allowing it to remain up can cause a BPDU loop. Your spanning tree is trying to tell you something, you should listen or you could get really hard to isolate issues.
