Checking for vandalism means we check all edits,
no matter whether they are minor or not.
if an admin fails to notice vandalism because
he/she hides the minor changes from RC, I
consider it his/her own fault.

In fact I find it downright insulting that
I'm not trusted to mark a
spelling correction as "minor" without
logging in.
On which basis should you be trusted? When
you're not logged in, nobody
knows that it is you. I've seen quite a few
vandals who liked to test
Wikipedia's defenses by claiming to make
spelling fixes while in reality
vandalizing the article. Marking edits as minor
has one primary purpose:
Being able to filter them from RC. And that
should only be possible if
there is a basis for trust.
In addition to the trust factor, there's also
the advantage of a simpler
user interface for first time users.
