I think I'm not ENTIRELY wrong ;)

In the end there are different ways how peak data can 
be computed, just as stated. Min/Max values is one 
way, but (non digital) peak instruments in studio 
equipment don't work this way and they are often 
referenced as useful. I just wanted to state this...

I think this is not true in many cases because you would 
still just don't care about the phase of the mixed 
signals. 

Example: If you mix two signals of white noise with
min/max = +50%/-50% you woun't get a resulting signal
of +100%/-100%. This is espacially true for the case 
of mixing two identical sine waves with an phase
shift between them (signals with slight phase shifts
are not too seldom: e.g. stereo recording, mixing 
raw and effect signals...)
