Yes, that point *is* the artefact, so if you delete it, the artefact
is gone. Richard's question was how to avoid the artefact at an
earlier stage.

Yes, indeed. It turns the Artistic Line into a static shape, so you
can no longer just edit the center line and let ArtWorks update the
complex ribbon shape around it automatically.
It is a bit like using 'Make shapes' on a line of text. There is not
much of a visual difference, but you can no longer edit the text.
