Findings here seem consistent with my mental model where the CO2 itself isn't so bad, but we're wired with a CO2 anti-suffocation alarm that causes increased anxiety when CO2 spikes suddenly. That would be why the submarine studies didn't see significant performance degradation.

Funny to me that we can't really sense when oxygen is low, but we evolved a sense for when CO2 is high, which would have been strongly correlated in ancient times, but less so now.
