OK, so my question now is why wouldn't fourth position still first position? It's the exact same dynamic of relative scales.

That's 2nd position....doesn't matter whether it's major or minor, it's still 2nd position.

Like one a short while back at the Huntington Harmonica club, they called a song in F minor and I wound up playing a D chromatic with the button pushed in the entire time, so that would have been transforming the chromatic to an Eb chromatic and playing 5th position on it.
