goggle air flow question - Snowboarding Forum

Please explain what the comment below means? It was listed in the FAQ for buying a goggle. I don't understand the comment about allowing air flow? If there are no gaps how can air flow?

Make sure there are no gaps and that the goggles allow air flow.

You want the foam to completely contact your face but make sure the goggle has foam covered vents. You want a controlled airflow. Too little airflow from crappy vents and you get foggy goggles. Too much airflow from face gaps and you get cold watery eyes that blur your vision.
