A couple of reasons for minimal examples: having an isolated issue is
easier to debug and in the process of simplifying the code you might
stumble on the solution yourself.
For example, I have a book that uses dozens of files. When I encounter
an issue, I concatenate the files and then start chopping out chunks
that don't affect the output. Eventually I get down to a minimal
example that allows me to further research the issue. If I get stuck,
then I post the problem.
It's time-consuming but you can't assume people will dedicate the time
to replicate issues based on descriptions... :-) Try to whittle down a
minimal example that illustrates the problem.
