you've just described turning water into hydrogen and oxygen in order to burn the hydrogen... to make water. Burning water, this is not.

No it doesn't.  Pure oxygen doesn't burn.

However, a pure oxygen environment will cause OTHER THINGS to spontaneously combust very very rapidly (i.e. explode).

I would argue that oxygen "is burned" rather than burning itself; the oxygen is reduced during the combustion, while the burning thing is oxidised. That's pretty potato-potato though. And that saying does not work when translated to text.
