Vasik said as much in a post of his:

"Tactical settings will spend relatively more time on "forcing" moves. These
include captures, checks, and certain threatening moves.

Also, none of the settings are especially extreme - I could believe that any of
the four might be the best. It would also be possible to make a special
testsuite-crunching version, ie. an ultra-tactical setting. Going too far in the
other extreme wouldn't really make much sense - it's hard to play good
positional moves when you don't see any tactics :)"
