Except for the fact that I was talking about the NB and not NR :-)

To your point, I've come to the conclusion that while you're generally
correct, NR does add to SNR even at very narrow bandwidths.  I found in
testing that NR will improve the apparent (S+N)/N ratio around 10dB even at
100 Hz bandwidth.  Rough number, but it is bigger that breadbox .. :-)
