You miss the point of the parent, which is that exhaling is not a chemical process. The point being that the CO2 you exhale is "somehow produced by something", and once it's there you have to exhale it.

That's a way of saying that breathing faster won't burn more fat just because of the breathing: burning fat is a bit more elaborate than that.

Which is wrong, since breathing involves pumping air with your muscles.

Not sure if you got my point but wanted to be pedantic, or didn't get my point at all.
