Artifact tag vs. Change tag to artifact in Acrobat

Hi - I am looking through some pdf documents that have been tagged by others, and I see that they are using the <Artifact> tag on items they want to artifact. I've always either right-clicked on the content box and chosen "Change tag to artifact" then deleted the tag, or I've used the Reading Order to mark a tag as background/artifact. Does tagging something as an artifact have the same effect? I just don't see that used as often, and wondered if there is a reason.

Thanks!
