You say ANY change... It means that if my record was last modified e.g. on 10 Jan 2018 when I edited the epub, and today I insert a comma in the Title column I found missing in the name of a book, the important date 10 Jan 2018 will be updated and lost because of this unimportant comma, and I cannot do ANYTHING about it except stop using this column completely.
It is quite useless column because initially EVERYTHING there has the same date as the Date {date} column even though the record was actually never modified...
Fortunately I can create my own column called e.g. Edited which will keep the date I want there.
Initially last_modified recorded the creation change. So It is the same as date.
When you added the comma, you 'dirtied' the metadata status (and a backup OPF is queued.

I also have #edited, #done (reading) and #VC (valid checked)
