It's really only valid to make to make the argument that "it's a circle". It's a tautological argument.
Dude. Seriously. Leave aside your obsession with the BB center, and just imagine the pedal spindle in rotation. It makes a circle, yes? The top of the pedal is always the same distance above the pedal spindle, right? So no matter where in the spindle's circle you are, the pedal top is always exactly the same distance above, which means it CAN ONLY describe a circle, right?
