Because it always picks the corner with the lowest absolute x,y,z
values, regardless of camera location.

Thus if the camera is in the negative x,y,z octant relative to the
object, then min_extent happens to be the nearest corner.

If on the other hand the camera is in the positive x,y,z octant relative
to the object, then max_extent is the nearest corner.

And if the camera is in any other octant, yet another corner may be the
nearest one.

For instance, if the camera is in the +x,-y,-z octant, then the nearest
corner is at

    <max_extent(Obj).x,min_extent(Obj).y,min_extent(Obj).z>
