Why is robocopy so weird?

I used robocopy on the My Files folder on the D drive to copy it to the T drive. Here is the command:
robocopy "D:\My Files" T:\ /mir /dcopy:t

I also tried this, the result is the same:
robocopy "D:\My Files" T:\ /mir /dcopy:t /is

Question 1.
It says that 1 file is missing. How can you quickly understand what kind of file it is? Without reading the entire command line log.

Question 2.
It says that 1 file is missing. But the number of files in the folder is the same. Why is that? The only difference is the size in bytes on the disk.

Here is the screen:

PS
There are sooooo many files. I copied the output to notepad and searched with ctrl+f. I was looking for "prop". Wanted to find "missed", "skipped" or something like that. But I didn't find anything.

This command in the shell also did not find anything:

$1 = Get-childitem "D:\My Files" -recurse
$2 = Get-childitem  "T:\My Files" -recurse
Compare-Object $1 $2 -Property Name, Length


Maybe robocopy outputs something wrong regarding skipped files?
