I'm as well aware of this as you are. For a given PPO2 there are more moles (molecules of O2) in the loop at higher pressure. I alluded to this in the original question. But instead of supplying a reasonable answer you wanted to point out my supposed ignorance. Is this the attitude of someone who wants to enlighten people?
As Mr. Soggy says, many people will have questions. Some of them will be silly. I can be quite an expert at silly questions myself but I have a thick skin.
