Generate Definition Query From Selection > Overwrite Where Clause parameter

When I see the "Overwrite Where Clause" parameter, it makes me think that any existing Where Clauses/Definition Queries in the layer properties would be removed and replaced. But I think what actually happens is the Where Clause gets displayed in the GP tool and can be modified. That confused me at first.

I'm wondering if more intuitive wording can be used for the Overwrite Where Clause parameter, such as "Modify Generated Where Clause". Or something better. I think that would help avoid confusion.
