What the does that have to do with what OP said?

OP, correctly, pointed out that we don't detect the lack of O2, we detect a buildup of CO2 (because it causes respiratory acidosis). If the CO2 is removed, there's nothing to cause the panic response, the situation itself notwithstanding.

It's still nea that it works with an impaired amygdala, though.

first of all - the co2 isn't removed ...

It is, they had CO2 scrubbers

but not endlessly. those scrubbers are saturated after a while. that's the whole point. otherwise suffocation wouldn't be a threat to begin with.

why do i have to argue here with so many people about something so simple to understand?

The CO2 scrubbers were in masks which could be replaced and there was enough for 96 hours

It's called a hypothetical.
