Perhaps this is a hidden force behind the non-minimal State: more issues to decide means that there are more chances that a given person will win on one.

-
The models appear to be equivalent to each other and to N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory coupled to a non-minimal conformal supergravity [4].
-
One possibility is that TelCo is using delay discrimination, either minimal or non-minimal, with the goal of causing this problem.
-
As the experimental constraints get tighter and rule out various simple possibilities (e.g. mSUGRA), people are forced into more complicated things like non-minimal SUSY models.
-
The minimal state will become a non-minimal state soon after its establishment.
-
In the non-minimal Bohm theory [18], the behavior of an N-particle system is determined by its wave function and the intrinsic properties of the particles.

But, in contrast to the minimal theory, in the non-minimal theory spins are intrinsic properties of particles.

-
A minimal system should be more metabolically efficient than a non-minimal.
-
There are lots of examples of this phenomenon - that string theory is able to "guide you" in finding many non-trivial and non-minimal mathematical structures and theoretical frameworks that share some features with the "cool and simple ideas" that you might invent after a few minutes but, unlike the cheap and fast ideas, these non-minimal ideas work.

On the other hand, string theory exactly tells what kind of non-minimal extensions of these ideas you should pursue in order to have a chance that your theory won't be instantly ruled out.
