In all seriousness... oxygen, while part of the triangle for fire, isn't everything. It also includes the fuel (oxygen isn't the fuel source, something like wood or the like is the actual fuel) and heat. Wind can move the heat away from the fuel, which is why blowing out a candle works instead of just making the flame bigger.
