absolutely
with a select element, the form user has limited choices, and you can be
sure that the submitted value is one of the given options
with an input element, assuming you meant a text element, the form user can
type any old thing, and you don't know what you'll get, so you have to
validate it
with an input radio or checkbox element, it might not even be submitted
is that what you were hoping to hear?
