Default It's a vacuum!

"It binds oxygen by oxidizing (rusting), not by pulling a vacuum. "

Yes, it binds oxygen by oxidization, and it does result in a vacuum. The two are not mutually exclusive.

When the oxygen is absorbed, it makes a vacuum because you have lower pressure inside the bag than outside...and that's the definition of a vacuum.
