All else aside, this is like arguing that if increasing the speed limit on a highway from 100 km/h to 120 km/h has a minimal impact, it will also have a minimal impact if you raise it to 800 km/h.
Change is not linear. There are tipping points where a very small change can make a gigantic difference in outcome, and there are times when what are perceived to be radical changes make very little difference. The main problem I have with this proposed minimum wage change is that it could go either way and not much thought seems to have been put into finding out which.
