I believe I know the difference, but still I often try to complete
symbols in the minibuffer with just TAB. And this help text seems to
imply it should, doesn't it?
TAB is for completing _a minibuffer argument_.
M-TAB completes a Lisp symbol, which in this cases can occur
within a minibuffer argument, but completing a symbol is not the
same thing as completing a minibuffer argument.
