See I've had good luck with oxygenation. I actually used it on my first batch on purpose. I wanted it to be drinkable early, and it was within a month. But I did have it capped in a 1 gal carboy, so it wasn't alot of oxygen. And before someone gasps, I had to get something "decent" and drinkable fast so hubby would let me get more supplies. LOL! It worked. The other reason I did it was because of bad information, at the time I didn't know it was so risky. But I won't do it again that's for sure.
