I am trying to learn the meaning of the word disdain and how it is used in a sentence. It means to dislike of someone or something with the feeling that it does not deserve your respect or consideration. So if I am practicing sentence writing with the word disdain, can I substitute the word refuse to check if the sentence makes sense?

For example: The worker disdained the new tactics of dealing with customers.

To make sure the sentence makes sense, I substitute refuse: The worker refused the new tactics of dealing with customers.

Is it ok to substitute "refuse"?
