I didn't read it that way. Your usage may be correct.

It's not what comes out of the transmitter that affects the error rate,
but what gets into the detector.

The receiver's filter takes it out.

Okay. So if the signal is spread between -B/2 and +B/2, the noise
should also be white between -B/2 and +B/2 with a power spectrum of
height N0. And what prevents me from having a white noise over -Inf to
+Inf with a power spectrum of height N0? Which is what I get when I add
white noise to an oversampled signal, right?

That is all well and good. But I just still dont understand how I
should add noise to an oversampled signal at the output of the
transmitter.

What is Nyquist rate? Supposing the signal spectrum extends from -B/2
to +B/2, the Nyquist sampling rate would be B. And twice the Nyquist
rate would mean 2B.

What does "... two setups: The first one transmits the RRC filtered
signal at twice the Nyquist rate ..." mean?

RRC filtering is used so that the effect of identical cascaded filters
(see "matched filters") will be a raised cosine, which theoretically
eliminated ISI. The noise is filtered by the receiver before it is
demodulated.

But is is BEFORE the RRC filter in the receiver. The SNR is measured
(calculated) after the RRC filter in the RECEIVER.
Otherwise you would have to include all the noise in the entire
universe from DC to daylight in the SNR calculation and that is
obvioulsy not correct.
