That is right about the yeast and CO2 , lots of things stress the yeast, during fermentation it is the temp, ethanol and dissolved CO2 I believe it is not the CO2 itself but the lowering of the pH level attributed to the dissolved CO2 (carbonic acid) to much pressure also suppresses the yeast esters. One of the reasons why the spunding isn't capped until towards the end of fermentation.
