(I'm not touching a number of points, many of which I agree
with, several of which I do not, but this has a quick and
easy answer, so...)

This is because that discussion was not an agenda item; it
was not planned in advance.

Minutes reflect what was actually discussed, which often vary
somewhat from what had been planned to be discussed (i.e., 
the Agenda).

That non-Agenda topic might be considered "AOB" ("Any Other 
Business") which is often a wildcard entry at the end of formal 
agendas, to allow for such topics -- but usually, such AOB is 
only taken up after the planned topics have been at least 
shelved for the week, if not actively discussed.

I hope that helps with *this* point, at least.
