I thought nearly any trace of minerals essentially reduced the likelihood of superheating down to near zero?

They do, it's pretty hard to get normal water to superheat, so OP's use of the phrase "tends to" is definitely misplaced. IIRC the MythBusters did a segment on that and they used distilled water. I think also re-boiling water might increase the odds of it happening, but I'm not sure.

Cool thanks for the confirmation :)
