Help me understand "Affects investment performance"

I consider myself a fairly literate English speaker, but I don't understand the words in the tool tip which comes from the (i) next to "Affects income performance" in the Edit Category dialog.
I understand the first sentence, but not the second.
I'd appreciate someone translating this into small words even you-know-who could understand. It seems like a rare use-case to need this option, but someone must have needed it enough for it to be added.

I agree that the rollover help text is confusing.QWin Premier subscription1

I suspect value of $10K is supposed to be the Growth of $10,000 chart available as a Home view item and on the Performance view on the Investing tab. The intent of the option appears to be to enable us to control whether a categorized investment transaction is considered return. As you're likely aware, this would impact the average annual return (aka IRR) and the Growth of $10,000 chart.
However, in my quick test, applying the option did not appear to have any impact on return.1 -

Thanks, @Jim_Harman . I must have either missed that thread or glazed over while reading it as I just did. I see I'm not the only one confused by the tool tip verbiage.I have an even better solution. I don't pay any fees on any of my investment accounts.
