Both situations A) and B) have happened many, many times. Therefore it is false to claim that just one seat-saver has no effect on EBCI. It happens every day, not just every once in a while.
If you board early, "save" a seat but either 1) no one else wants to sit there before your friend arrives; or 2) someone else wants to sit there and you let them, then you are not a seat-saver, because your actions had no effect on anyone else's boarding priority.
No!!! It is
false to claim that even just one seat saver has an effect on EBCI. Do you understand how logic and proof works? If the claim is that "even just one seat saver devalues EBCI" then there can be no, zero, nada, nyet, zilch, none, etc, instances of a seat save not devaluing EBCI. You yourself state "situation B) EBCI passenger does not get shooed away by a seat-saver" and that is an instance of a seat saver not devaluing EBCI. So right there you have now proven that the claim "even just one seat save devalues EBCI" is false. Finally. Thank you.
