Is there an agreed definition of what is or is not a "minor edit"? I haven't been able to find one, so I've just been guessing. I suspect that most people are just guessing. So if it's such a big deal to people, perhaps there should be clearer guidelines on what should or should not be marked as a minor edit. Perhaps the "minor edit" box should have a link by it, with the text "What is a minor edit?", linking to a page of such guidelines.
That's not a bad idea. For users who are not naughty, I think it serves as a way to flag "This was substantial enough that other people should look at it." I personally think that almost anything other than typo or minor grammar fixes should not be flagged as minor edits. I only check minor edit if I think that really, no one would want to be bothered to know that I made the change.
