Why does changing a collider affect rigid body physics?

Why does changing a collider, say from a box to a capsule, change the way the object is affected by a force?
Blog text (34) -
But on occasion, even though the colliders are very thin, an object would land on its edge.

I thought the rigid body determined how a body reacts to applied forces, while the collider only affects the object's interaction with other objects.

I thought switching to capsule colliders with round edges would solve this problem.

The problem I'm trying to solve involves changing from box to capsule colliders.

I've been disappointed with the standard CharacterController offered as the default capsule collider; it just isn't well suited for a 2D platformer game.

Etymology
Collider comes from Latin parts com- 'together' and laedere 'to strike'. That same idea of things 'striking together' explains the game meaning: a game collider is the shape on an object that tells the game when objects hit or bump into each other.
