I certainly don't want to degrade the guy who took the initiative because I also fancy myself a half assed garage scientist.

the amount of foam sitting on top of the wort in the fermenter is not a good indicator of dissolved oxygen. I have a great head on top of my keg poured beers and there's no oxygen in the beer at all.

You have a great head on top of your keg poured beers because you have a large amount of dissolved CO2 in the beer that escapes as a gas, thereby foaming the beer. Similar reason, different gas.
