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.
