Books I did read ;)
That definition is common knowledge straight from wikipedia , the ductionary and other sources
Lets add
Burning
adjective
aflame; on fire.
noun
the state, process, sensation, or effect of being on fire, burned, or subjected to intense heat.
(In plain simple english)The question is does O2 do that?
No It supports other fuels doing it
Like you just said
"A chemical change, especially oxidation, accompanied by the production of heat and light"
Without a source of oxygen a fuel will not burn
and with oxygen - they both "burn"
Detonation is a type of combustion involving a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it.
Combustion
n. The process of burning.
n. A chemical change, especially oxidation, accompanied by the production of heat and light.
n. Violent anger or agitation.
You read The Principia did you? Perhaps you can quote me the passage where Newton proves Grabbity. go ahead and try - make me laugh
lol

There are no flammable components in air unless you happen to be in a well shack with a leaking pipe.

Air has oxygen and hydrogen, your flammable argument is incorrect Science as usual
