Again no, that's not entirely accurate... and are you just posting as a means of thinking out loud? The ECU references the O2 sensor the majority of the time once warmed up, including when accelerating (at up to about 70% throttle). When decelerating (coasting down; off throttle and while the RPM are above the fuel cut level) the O2 sensor isn't referenced as the fuel supply is cut altogether. When decelerating below the fuel cut level or at light throttle the O2 sensor is referenced.... and so on and so on and so on... There are a LOT of conditions to this.
