Incidentally, I see this as having an eraser on a pencil. You don't tear up a piece of paper and start writing your whole document again when you misspell a word. Same concept to me.
Well, yes and no.
One person's minor change is another person's deal breaker. One person's typo is another person's "this is why I voted the way I did, and wouldn't have otherwise." Who decides what is minor? How much can the "pencil erase" before it is no longer minor? And by the way, before "your time," if a secretary messed up when preparing an important document that was a multi-carbon form set, the entire thing would go into the dustbin, and (s)he would start all over.
I know we all think it should be so obvious. But there is a line somewhere, and that line will not be obvious.
Agreed 100%! ^ and to add that if this motion should pass (which I hope it does not), whatever changes are made, be they a typo or an actual substantive change, they must (n.b. must) be made public before (n.b. before) the change is implemented
