Default node values vs. no node values in fluent

user0314 is on a distinguished road
In fluent I am viewing filled velocity contours on my inlet.

When I check the box 'node values' and when I uncheck the box the results look dramatically different as shown in my two .png files attached.

If 'node value' means interpolation, how can it be that the two results have different orders of magnitude?

I have a 3D geometry spinning disk. The fluid is prescribed as a moving reference frame and the walls are prescribed at rotating at 0 rpm in the relative reference frame to the adjacent fluid. Does it have to do something with that?

Thanks.
