I have already explained why the carburretor / fuel servo does not automatically maintain the air/fuel ratio, thereby necessitating additional leaning, as one climbs.

I can't write it all in words of one syllable.

An engine doesn't give a damn about "partial pressure". All it cares about is how much mass of fuel and oxygen is gets fed to it.
