Like I said in the other thread, this is merely procedural.
If the refs call a 5 minute major it means the play can be reviewed on the monitors and from there can be upgraded or...obviously...downgraded.
If the on-ice call is a 2-minute minor, they cant review the play. Why? I dont know, it sounds stupid to me too.
But as I also said in the other thread, that means they looked at the play and CHOSE to downgrade it to a 2 minute minor.
Which IMO makes the stupidity even worse.
