The red evasion is basically bullshit and allows Ryukishi to make definitive statements that are, in fact, completely without any merit or use.
For example, Shannon and Kanon can be dead and Yasu can be alive. No, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Yes, it completely exists solely to evade the red (i.e. it's cheating for the sake of cheating, not because Yasu actually needs them to be "dead"). You got taken for a ride, as we all did, by authorial dishonesty. Guess we just gotta deal.
By the same logic, Beatrice isn't a servant, because Beatrice is a witch. But Shannon and Kanon are and she's them! Don't matter. But Yasu arguably is and she's all of them! Don't matter (and Ryukishi probably doesn't define Yasu as a servant; indeed, what defines one as a servant in the first place is left undefined anyway).
It's kind of sad that "Eva stops Rosa from strangling Maria and accidentally kills her" is a better, more reasonable, justifiable, and less red-evasive solution to that murder than the one that was apparently intended.
