What Exactly Does The Witch's Cackle Do?

I know that you advise using the witch's cackle in every kind of distortion. I'm just wondering what part it helps with. I figure it's used for either helping create the distortion or as an outlet so that too much pressure doesn't build up in the neck, or maybe both.

Different coaches use different terminology. Is the witch's cackle the same thing as "pharyngeal tone"?
