I get this warning, even tho the profile has the identical settings as other profiles that don't give me the prompt?

Re: Why do I occasionally get his warning
These are my settings
What is ambiguous about these selections? The source will overwrite the destination. Files in the destination, but not the source, will be eliminated.
Without complicating things (i.e., trying to interpret "100% or more of my Source files". We're only referring to "source" files. I don't know a better way to say this, but now can you eliminate more files than you have?), can we simply confirm that this warning

Is perfectly understandable essentially as an extra/final precautionary alert, that once you proceed, there is no going back? To be sure that your settings are precisely defining your goals? And if your not sure, best to check before you continue?
What I think is most unclear (the original intention of my inquiry here) was to determine why, if the vast majority of my profiles have the identical "decisions" you see in the first image. don't I get this warning for every backup attempt, but just for a select few, unless I permanently dismiss the notification? In a scenario like this, the initial impression is that the user has done something wrong, if there profiles have been singled out. It's not a random warning. It occurs with the same profiles, every time.
I value Syncback. This is not a criticism. Just trying to understand the logic. I'm sure there's a valid explanation.
thanks
