  No, there is no difference.
  
  Of course, you are likely not able to extrapolate results obtained from synthetic data to expect identical or similar results in real life to unless you have **very** compelling reasons to do so.
  
  Without a more specific question, I'm afraid a more specific answer is not possible.
