Thanks Joe,
This explanation is what I was missing!
ahhhh OK,
so then forget this button, because I'm 99.9999% all set up for
contesting with the N1MM+ telling WSJT-X all that, who is dupes, who is
good, who is a new mult etc. so this S&P button is more or less don't
worry about it.

Thinking,,,, Why should those make any difference at all anyway?
It is not just listening to all who is CQing, and then grab who is
the strongest?
Why should any of those choices below make any difference?
Evidently you have not participated in testing recent RC# (beta
release) versions of WSJT-X that include FT4. The FT4 mode is
designed for HF contesting. The "Best S+P" button (not yet described
in the User Guide) is an aid for contest operating. You're not in a
contest, but choosing to playing with FT4 anyway; the button is not
particularly useful in your situation.
Clicking "Best S+P" during an Rx cycle arms the program to examine all
CQ messages decoded at the end of the Rx sequence. The program will
select the best potential QSO partner (from a contesting perspective),
and treat it as if you had double-clicked on that line of decoded
text. Here “best potential QSO partner” means “New Multiplier” (1st
priority) or “New Call on Band” (2nd priority). “New Multiplier” is
currently interpreted to mean “New DXCC”; a more broadly defined
multiplier category (for the ARRL RTTY Roundup rules) will be
implemented in due course. We might also provide additional priority
rankings, for example “New Grid on Band” (useful for North American
VHF contests), sorting by signal strength, etc.
"Best S+P" can be used sensibly only if you have defined what "Best"
is supposed to mean. That's done byy configuring things suitably on
the Settings | Colors tab. It's not the colors themselves that
matter; it's which ones are selected, and in what order. These things
determine what potential QSO partners are "best" in the sense used by
the "Best S+P" button. The best choices may be very different for
different contests.
For example, under the RTTY Roundup rules, you should select ONLY the
following: "My Call in message", "New DXCC", "New Call on Band", "CQ
in message" and "Transmitted message" (reading from top to bottom).
