Fidelity of galaxies with SubhaloFlag=False

Why do we think galaxies formed without host subhalos should be treated as artifacts? (see https://www.tng-project.org/data/docs/background/#subhaloflag)

If they are artifacts, then what kind of numerical effects account for their formation?

Thank you!

Have you read Section 5.2 of the data release paper? SubhaloFlag and its creation are described there.
