There are no camps, only different IQs... those who say adding salt to
cooking water increases boiling temperature in any meaningful way have
no IQ whatsoever.

In order to increase ther boiling point of water a mere few degrees so
much salt would need to be added that it would no longer be cooking
water, it would be a very strong saturated brine solution, way too
strong even for preseving food.
