You've run into a bikeshed scenario: the more inconsequential the issue,
the more people are likely to have opinions about it, and feel strongly
that you're wrong.  Since bikeshed probabilities often decrease with a
higher level of usefulness in a commit, you may find that focussing on
activities with a higher usefulness measure helps with the problem.

FWIW, you're not the only committer who's discovered that minor wording
changes from "possibly incorrect" to "possibly correct" bite off more than
they planned for :-).
