I still think you don't get the intended meaning.  "Input" here is a bit
ambiguous.  It could either mean "the keys you type", which AFAIU you
read it, and "the contents of the minibuffer", which is how I read it:
any contents are accepted.  This is not wrong.  It still can be
clarified to be less ambiguous, of course.
