Ignore the comment about your question being redundant. Apart from
being the wrong word for what the poster means, it is also less than
helpful.

On the contrary - it took him longer just to type the question than it
would have to have tried the function, let alone wait for answers to
propagate back. Had he tried BOTH functions and been unable to see any
difference then the question would have been justified, but there is no
substitute for learning something for yourself!

BTW. Obsolete (OED): Disused, discarded

His question would certainly have been discarded had he bothered to try
it! There are many ways of expressing a same meaning in English - feel
free to expand your vocabulary.
