Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SRAM 11sp shifter with 10sp RD

can you use SRAM 11 speed shifter with 10 speed rear derrailleur and end up with 11 speed system?
I'm just a bit curious, since an RD travels in one continuous motion (not stepped) and the one that's responsible for it to move/stop to the next gear is the ratchet mechanism in the shifter body
so if a SRAM 10 speed RD has enough motion to travel along an 11 speed cogs, can you make it work?
