I don’t buy that. If the effect is truly identical, leaving the text alone 
would have been more in keeping with your characterization of the document that 
it exists only to make one change. 

I suspect there’s more benefit to the change than an identical effect that just 
makes the editor feel better. 

To be sure, this isn’t a huge deal, but it really would help to not make the 
readers not guess why the change was made.
