Because the oxidation of metal, in an open system, with a continuous flame and an unlimited fuel supply, is not remotely the same as the combustion of gasoline in a closed system.
You seem to understand that "burning" is oxidation. You probably heard that in a welding class and thought it was cool. Unfortunately for you this is about the only part of your analogy that is the same. And now you're trying to extend this, you think "Hey if I weld and add more oxygen it gets hotter and the metal burns faster. That means if I add oxygen to my fuel it must burn faster and hotter"
Yah, no. You're wrong. Christ man, just take a moment to read the information instead of trying to extend your failed analogies. Welding metal isn't the same as the internal combustion engine. It's similar but not the same. Capiche?
The sad thing is if you are CW you've provided a shit ton of what I thought was good information. Now I've got to go back and take a closer look because I have no idea if you actually know what you're talking about, or if you've just extend what you know to what you think you know. I considered this CW to be somewhat of a practical expert, but you dr. kwak are just an expert on baffling with bullshit.
