It depends what you mean by 'bad' :-) If I were evaluating this,
er, debate as an exercise in scientific reasoning, Michael would
get a 'B' and you both would get an 'E'. That's a bad mark ....

He has provided well thought out reasons why he is tackling the
task, and described a viable procedure, but has provided little
evidence why the task should succeed. Hence only a 'B'.

You have provided no reasoning at all, other than the classically
spurious ones of "He hasn't done it yet".
