Can such as and "such.....as" be used for giving examples?

AS FAR AS I KNOW "SUCH AS" IS USED FREQUENTLY, but can this"such....as" also be used for the same purpose? I had read somewhere that such...as cannot be used for giving examples, but, to lay emphasis on something.

Please clarify!
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

Please clarify!
Such X's as Y and Z can serve to introduce examples.
The OA to an SC in GMATPrep employs the following sort of construction:
such diseases as polio and yellow fever.
Private tutor exclusively for the GMAT and GRE, with over 20 years of experience.
Followed here and elsewhere by over 1900 test-takers.
I have worked with students based in the US, Australia, Taiwan, China, Tajikistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia -- a long list of countries.
My students have been admitted to HBS, CBS, Tuck, Yale, Stern, Fuqua -- a long list of top programs.

As a tutor, I don't simply teach you how I would approach problems.
I unlock the best way for YOU to solve problems.
