setting attributes and calling save the same as setting through updateAttributes?

[0xgeert]

Just for my understanding is the following functionally the same, with respect to called triggers, validation, etc.?

1. set properties manually and calling save
   • user.email = "test@example.com"
   • user.save()
2. calling updateAttributes
   • user.updateAttributes({email: "test@example.com"});
