Default tillers, rotavators, and cultivators: what's the difference?

Both you and they have said it's not for use on uncultivated ground so
that's good; there's a consensus!

Does that mean if the ground has already been dug it would be ok to
use it. In other words, if the ground is unbroken, the tiller will not
break the soil and will skate on top?
