My answer to rather or not Mikoto could use that method to defeat accelerator is beside the point.

The biggest problem with with abilities that powerful is that it is hard to think of the full extent you can use them. Accelerator would have been capable so much more if he had actually thought about it. The only time Mikoto had ever gone up against Accelerator was when she just watched her clone get slaughtered so rational thinking wasn't something she had at that point, plus let's not forget that it has been suggested that Aelister is also trying to conrol the psyochological development of his prized espers to keep them in line. He might be using some method to keep the level 5's from fully realizing the true extent of their own powers, after all the way you use your abilities is what makes dangerous not just having them.
