R provides the reference

In single-ended input modes, electrostatic and magnetic noise couples into
the signal connections more than in differential input modes. The coupling
is the result of differences in the signal path. Magnetic coupling
is proportional to the area between the two signal conductors. Electrical
coupling is a function of how much the electric field differs between the
two conductors.
