Re: Having position: could it be mutually beneficial to swap places?

2. The seating will force the table into one of two extremes , tighter or looser.

"Forcing" the other players to ANY extreme (keyword: extreme) is virtually always a good thing; it's a huge part of what the game is all about.
Opponents who ALWAYS call SELDOM win - opponents who NEVER call NEVER win.
I'm not sure as to the validity of the rest of your response but it should be possible - at least in theory - for both you AND the player with whom you switch seats to profit from this switch. If this is so, where the [sic] "+EV suddenly appears from" is no mystery - it comes from the other players.
A (somewhat related) point worth pondering:
Certainly it's easy to imagine a situation where you are in a game where your win rate (or +EV) is increased by replacing a player with a neg. WR (-EV) with a player whose WR is positive. An even better example might be CHANGING a losing player into a winning player being benificial to [another] winning player in the game. (This would require this group play on a regular basis - such as a home game).
If you cannot picture such a scenario, try harder; I see it happen all the time.
