You've missed the whole purpose of the erector assembly. You are correct that the scope tube is fixed in modern scopes with respect to the rifle (inclined or not), however, when the reticle is adjusted via moving the erector assembly through dialing the windage and elevation knobs, the point of aim (which defines a ray going out in space) moves. In particular, with correct data, that point of aim will coincide with the trajectory at the distance the elevation knob has been dialed for.
If what you say is true, nobody could use even a straight base (scope tube parallel to bore) and then dial 30 MOA up elevation to hit at 1000 yards because of the opposite problem (IE-- it's the opposite case of having a 30MOA base and it dialed for 100 yards).
Feel free to respond:

a. explain how it makes a difference, beyond what I showed in posts #19 and #21, or
b. do an experiment which proves there is a difference.
