Claim

Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid




Arguments

If it is true that...

Hyperventilation is similar to being in the presence of too much oxygen

and

Hyperventilation is defined as breathing enough to produce respiratory alkalosis from the loss of carbon dioxide

Then it must be true that...

Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid


Consequences

If it is true that...

Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid

Then it must be true that...

Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide
