Regarding "minor" note this wording in the material kindly posted by hptaxis:
"Minor amendments often consist of deficiencies that are outside the control of the applicant..."
This supports the idea that a deficiency that is "minor", like a list of questions that is "short", does not necessarily mean that the problems with the application will be easy to remedy and that approval is imminent.
Thanks hptaxis, Dew, and genisi for the helpful replies.
