Claim

At high altitude, the slight tendency toward carbon dioxide-retention acidosis decreases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, making it more available to the tissues




Arguments

If it is true that...

The loss of carbon dioxide from the lungs in the presence of high oxygen pressure increases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, and restricts its delivery to the tissues

Then it must be true that...

At high altitude, the slight tendency toward carbon dioxide-retention acidosis decreases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, making it more available to the tissues
