I think my point is more that you can't always rely on assumptions based on IRL observations. We have to go by what windows we have into the game's world, not the real world.
The foremost scholars in FFXIV's world say that wind-aspected aether extinguishes fire-aspected aether. So, it probably does. By what mechanism? Are they mistaken somehow? Who knows - all we can extrapolate is that it can't behave exactly like IRL air and fire do. We have to look to observations in the game itself for anything more in-depth - not IRL observations.
TL;DR: No, it doesn't make sense IRL. That's because it's fantasy.
