The min and max builtins are implemented by the same C 
function, and one of the exception strings is:

   ValueError: min() or max() arg is an empty sequence

which is unsurprisingly unhelpful for a statement that calls both of 
them on different sequences. The function knows which operation 
it's implementing it, so why not display the right one?
