From the original post:
To prevent noise and friction, your change must be more than 6 characters
So, unfortunately, some of those infuriating typos will not be possible to fix. Reducing noise has benefits, but it also seems like these trivial errors are perfect for casual users to spot and fix. And it's possible that noise will actually be increased by people making spurious changes to cross the 6 character threshold.

I rejected one yesterday where a new-ish user wanted to add "Thanks" at the end of somebody else's question.
