If you have two interfaces plugged into the same broadcast domain
(which generally isn't a good idea, but is unavoidable at times),
it'll spam your logs with ARP messages unless you check that box.
"Same physical network" is a bit of a misnomer, it should say
broadcast domain.

That's not sharing the same broadcast domain, each VLAN is its own
broadcast domain, so it doesn't apply to you.
