This is one of the reasons it is available. For many untagged documents it
can provide the best rendering of content depending on how complicated the
layout is and what the raw print stream is. It is also why we have the
option for left to right, top to bottom for untagged documents...or
'randomly tagged documents (documents where Tags have been added but not
verified or corrected).

In some documents when you either have to use OCR then the "virtual Tags" or
just the "virtual Tags" the character spacing is off and words do run
together. Being able to get a different view of the content often helps in
decoding/reading content.
