Compression - How much is too much?

Higher compression ratio's, all other things left stock, do not consume more air or fuel. The ECU does measure the amount of air going in,but it stays exactly the same.
If you read the link and some other references online, you will find decent (better then I can give for sure) explanations of why higher combustion pressures lead to a more efficient burn and more power.

All this is valid for a stock engine, with increased CR. Change anything else (affecting Volumetric-efficiency) and the amount of air changes.

Disagreement is good, generates agreement at the end.
So it's crystal clear now: you think change in CR doesn't effect on VE, I think it does. That's ok, everybody could have different opinions.
