Your command line has an error. The -S (source address) option takes an
argument, so it interprets -T4 as being a source address. You probably
see an error message like

Failed to resolve/decode supposed IPv4 source address -T4. Note that if you are using IPv6, the -6 argument must come 
before -S
QUITTING!

Provide a source address or remove the -S option and the scan will work.

Incidentally, the Zenmap profile editor can help debug command line
issues like this. Open the profile editor and type "nmap -F -S -T4
www.site.com" in the Command box. Then on the Source tab, you will see
that "-T4" is in the box for -S. Type in a proper source address and the
display will fix itself, and -T4 will move over to Scan tab where you
intended it.
