"In cask conditioned beers yeast protects the beer against the adverse
effects of oxygen. "
I think you underlined the wrong part of your quote.
Can we all get this clear: we're talking about homebrew with freakin YEAST IN THE BOTTLE.
Go look up the difference between "brewery conditioned" and "cask conditioned" and then think about what method more resembles a homebrewer filling bottles. I agree wholeheartedly with you that brewery conditioned (ie. filtered, bright beer) will be adversely affected by oxygen ... but you continue to misunderstand your own quotes. Keep going if you want.
BTW - I have not once said that deliberately introducing oxygen into bottling is a good idea, merely that a little bit of air in the bottling process won't harm your beer because the yeast will consume it.
