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.
